WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH THIS KNIFE
What are we to do with this knife
it isn't sharpened enough
to cut the bread
it isn't literate
to separate the pages
it's not considerate
to trim the tree
it's not good, it isn't
what are we to do with this stupid knife
it's guilty for sitting here guilty
that it guiltily keeps silent for being a knife
what are we to do with it
it isn't sharpened enough
to cut nonsense
between us
maybe it would be better
to bury it into the ground
before it plunges into flesh
without a sound
