Cutting Edges Don't Have To Be Steel
It wasn't a chisel, a saw or a knife that sliced the side of my hand so effortlessly
The pare-cut with the chisel was pristine and effortlessly executed but it never touched my skin
It was the pointed shoulder-line that parted the skin like a knife on a ripe and tight-skinned watermelon
So I strapped it closed with a wide band-aid and a couple of butterfly tabs and finished the joint
And the joint seated nicely into its recess and I went on to complete the second half before the day closed
