Or the Other

Or the Other

A thin thread,
Balanced out by
Two opposite forces.
Sharp silver scissors,
Waiting to cut
The thread and
Give it to
One side or
The other.
It's a hard
Job, though.
The thread will
Fray and lean
Towards one side
Or the other.
If it patches
Itself up, the
Scissors are useless.
When the thread
Frays too much,
Way past the
Point of no
Return,
The scissors does
Its job and
Snip!
The thread is
Chosen to be
On one side-
Or the other.
