Early on in my boxed-in office life, I made myself a festoon of paper hearts. They looked so promising then, a simple craft to garnish the light streaming in from the macadam lot beyond the broken plastic blinds. Now they get caught every time I try and shut out the day.
Hearts get in the way of everything.
