topic: You asked for a scalpel and were given a machete
by Aaron Michaeldelicate situations matter
not on size and shape
but whether they're attached
at the hand heart or head.
all may grip tight, but only one
knows how to let go, one
knows how say you should, and one
knows when you should.
it is never the same, nor
it is ever easy, and
knowing where to cut
does not always mean you can.
precision never matter more
and between you and i, and
the knife, no one can tell us
this won't hurt. 08/30/2007 Author's Note: topic from P. Lastovica

knowing where to cut
