Description It's better just to amputate in times of indecision.  Whether or not dilemma's a medicinal affair, I'll say "chop it off" with a flourish and reach for my machete.  It's incredible the adversity played in shades of keeping useless limbs, but I guess the nicest hand to hold doesn't have to really hold back.  It's perverse, but for what it's worth I like 'em better warm and moving.  

Stumps declare heroism, particularly in storytimes when stories depict deceptive terms of manhood.  Paranoia – not too good – and could I hold that knife again?  

I'll say "chop it off" when the cat scratches out more than one drop or skin pulls back slightly.  I'll say "make it worse" because I know pity's realm is visual.  Hide the scar-flossed arm on another shoulder – try the highway's – and don't cry as blades pry off indecisive numb-lets.  Thumbs get tired of misused writing and trying to hold the razor to just end it all.  Nah, you don't want to put yourself through that.  

I'll say "chop it off" and you're like the antiseptic soap of optimism and modern medicine.

I like how the gore isn't particularly...I want to say poetic, but that can't be right. Not glorified? Fascination versus some sort of metaphor for how dark your nail polish is (Mine's as dark as my soul).
Mmmm, but the chatty matter of fact attitude makes it so much more horrifying. I like it.

why thank you, that's exactly what I thought when I first re-read this. it's so casual it makes me afraid of myself kinda... like sara, seriously, stay away from that machete.

it makes me think of that weird instinct that pops into my head whenever I feel a ping of hurt.

just chop it off, get rid of it.
