Frederick Kesner - Nail Clippers

2014-06-12 1

TRI: slim and shiny;

I search and rummage

through the vanity,

my nails all grimy.



Trim the clawlike integument.

Clip, clip, snip and clip,

get them all in shape;

file them, keep them squared.



TRIM: slim and shiny;

back into the vanity.

The drawer is never tidy;

my nails no longer grimy.
