impress of teeth

We only bite the hand that feeds
no other hand comes close.
For texture, flavor, delicacy
- the one we love the most
is always just the one we'll bite.
Four out of five mouths
all agree. If not in words,
exact, precise - at least
in teeth, the marks we leave
so nice to see.

    All the better to feed you bread with.

    Sometimes the hand is more delicious than what it's trying to feed you. In cases like this, the saying is suspended.
