when i'm letting someone go i picture guitar strings
plastic
fragile.
then comes the knife
the sharpest butcher's knife one has ever seen
glistening
fresh.
with one fatal swoop
impact is made and
the strings are cut like
butter.
but your strings are different
electric
metallic
strong and built to last.
and suddenly my knife
is but a rock on a stick
it holds no chance
bouncing off with every hit.
