A Nail, a small rod a rod that sets the difference between structure and collapse One tip sharp to dig and impact Dangerous alone without a guide Ready to split and open a hard exterior and grip into an ever impenetrable interior To force an idea, a point The other end flat for taking on a force needed to dig Flat enough to focus the effort to force open and split To forcibly separate and and guide dangers To be the force behind the idea, the point Using one's own hand to drive in Damages the hand more than the exterior Only brushing and leaving no mark A hammer whether ball-peen, claw or mallet to drive in May drive in the nail if hit just right But miss and risk damaging the exterior Only denting and bruising it If you cannot seem to drive the nail whether missing the flat end or the material to impenetrable you might be the need of a sledgehammer

The bluntness of a nail
A Nail, a small rod a rod that sets the difference between structure and collapse One tip sharp to dig and impact Dangerous alone without a guide Ready to split and open a hard exterior and grip into an ever impenetrable interior To force an idea, a point The other end flat for taking on a force needed to dig Flat enough to focus the effort to force open and split To forcibly separate and and guide dangers To be the force behind the idea, the point Using one's own hand to drive in Damages the hand more than the exterior Only brushing and leaving no mark A hammer whether ball-peen, claw or mallet to drive in May drive in the nail if hit just right But miss and risk damaging the exterior Only denting and bruising it If you cannot seem to drive the nail whether missing the flat end or the material to impenetrable you might be the need of a sledgehammer
