A Scissor's Story

there was once a boy
who is afraid of scissors
and the scissors keep on
threatening him,

until one day when the boy
gained strength to face
that scissor and
he tied it with a string
on his neck and
paraded it on the streets
of the town

his thumb was cut
and blood dripped along the
path
towards his self-gained
freedom

and then he laughed
as the scissor gets too sharp
for the pleasure of
his neck
