THE BLADE OF THE KNIFE

Sometimes he just needs to have a few drinks
So it doesn’t actually seem like it is in the moment.
It lets him hide somewhere in between
What is and what isn’t.
It allows him to surreptitiously live in
What could be and what should be.
The way it dulls the blade of the knife
Doesn’t allow the “what is” feeling
To cut quite so deep.
