Dang it
Aidan—
this is a little nuts
but I'm willing
to own up—
that wherever there's
good luck
and low-fives
and pushes coming
to shoves,
you can pretty safely
lop-off any
of those yucky
corner parts
you don't love—
so long as
in return, you just
trust them
when each
of those
stubborn items
begins begging to insist
that you never
dare try
to cope alone
with the tremendousness
of however
many other
mouths like yours
one could feed
off of
nearly seven years!-
worth of
chopped-off
sandwich crusts.
