How Does It Feel to Be a Heart?

Once a young woman asked me,

How does it feel to be a man?
And I replied.

My dear,
I am not so sure.

Then she said,
Well, aren't you a man?

And this time I replied,

I view gender
As a beautiful animal
That people often take for a walk on a leash
And might enter in some odd contest
To try to win strange prizes.

My dear,
A better question for Hafiz
Would have been,

'How does it feel to be a heart?'

For all I know is Love,
And I find my heart Infinite
And Everywhere!
