A knocked-out tooth, by underfangs
inserted deftly in offending eye
to hang in puncture, leak -
will make us all think twice
next time we speak
to be so literal,
and get our parts
mixed up as well. It's weak.
It's underjustified. I just
knocked out one tooth! You have
most of a mouthful, still! Whereas now I
can see at best one-half
the truth that's left
to me, to see. An eye
for tooth
is one bad trade.
You escalated
unfairly
