people wonder why i love knives.
(love being the operative word.
love, instead of just use.)

because it's nice to keep something dangerous
in your pocket.

because life
is a knife
amazing super-ginsu
it slices
it dices
look what quick work it makes
of even my
tough heart.

kodak moment
catch you shutterless?
skip the camera
carve the scene into your skin
rub the wound
with honey
and salt.

(apologies to carl sandburg for stealing and abusing his metaphor...)

is it the potential?
a tool that opens up possibilities?
Is it the danger?
the utilitarian aspects?
Or is it the shock value?
What's a nice girl like you doing with an edge like that?
