HAMMER  AND  A  NAIL
 

The nail screams on top
and on bottom – as it’s
going into the wood and
when the hammer smashes
into the top of the head of
the nail. “That hurts” – but
those two hurts are just for
just  short three seconds.
What it hasn’t thought about
is what actually happens at
that moment: being nailed
down into that wall or roof
for the next thirty years.
Enough’s enough if you
want to get out of the box
and spend the rest of
your life just being a nail.
