At first sight, some things are all curvy, soft and dreamy, the sort of soft focus look used for attractive women on the early episodes of Star Trek.
But as you get closer you realise that’s not quite the whole story: you begin to see straight lines, edges and sharper outlines, and it all seems a bit scratchier – more like horse hair than angora.
And then you get to the heart and find it’s all points and ridges: a battle ground not a feather mattress.
Sometimes it’s better to keep your distance.
