Heartstring Theory

If you pull my heartstring
I’ll say one of eleven
pre-recorded phrases
but you can only hear the ones
in the first four dimensions
which feature old staples like
“I love you” (1st dimension)
or “You’re all I need” (3rd dimension)
whereas everything in the imperceptible higher dimensions
is non-falsifiable, such as
“If loving you is wrong, loving you
has shown me I’m wrong all the time anyway” (7th dimension)
or “Love is often impatient and struggles to be kind.
It is frequently jealous.
In short, love is to be endured.
But if I do not have love, I am nothing.” (11th dimension)
