Tell-tale heart

Only very young or very old relatives are getting valentine cards from me this year. But if I’d known about these stamps before my trip to the post office today, I’d have sent more. Nothing says I love you like a little Poesy.

“Villains!” I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- here, here! -- it is the beating of his hideous heart!”

being a former baltimorian I must go get those today. I'm headed to the post office anyways.

Edgar Allan Poe and John Waters. Baltimore must be some kind of place.
