wrestling with tape
and yards of bubble wrap
make me sure to trust spirit
will have scissors to unwrap me
Joan Rivers -
Her face saw many surgical scissors,
yet a routine endoscopy ended her life
and she hadn’t even gone under the knife.
We are like a pair
of scissors: alone - useless
blades of solitude,
but together - Atropos'
shears cutting the thread of fate.
Delany's scissors were like a brush
bringing the art lteratti to a hush
Her paper Pancratium* daffodil
with Matisse-like cut-out** skill
scissors of
osmosis mode
maquettes
& abstracts
shapes
stark
sensation
collage
to imitate
&
never
fade
The scissors have cut
memories not forgotten
only tucked away...
Drawing with scissors was no great change
in reality it increased Matisse colourful range
Creating in form,so unique
bringing is art to its peak
Eve of first school day.
Mom sets up al fresco.
A bowl, scissors and a broom.
Kids in a queue get their haircut.

Put pen to paper
Scissors to hair
I'll change my name
Get lost somewhere
I'll take my pride
And take my guilt
Look around
At the lie we've built
Change the game
Make it hip
A rock
A paper
A chip
A paper covers a rock
A chip replaces paper
A rock smashes a chip
Into trillions
Of meaningless bits
The scissors go snip
While the blood just drips
The tears drip drop
While the heels clip-clop
The mind races
While looking at their disappointed faces
You'll want to cover yourself.
I've got circumcision scissors in my pocket.
I'm liable to use them.

" Cut from here" are the words printed on the chips packet
with image of the scissors but irony is that
one is carry the scissors if thinks of having the stuff
Flowering empathy
...Blooms
Run my beautiful one,
Run!
Have you not heard?
(Jealousy raped Vanity)
Their child
That child Envy!
She searches for you
…With scissors
Is a barber or scissors the snipper?
A shoeless man, or sock, the slipper?
Why was mom, not a housewife, but a stripper?
You may as well ask a dolphin - Flipper?
Sound scissors make,
each time they are
opened and closed…
Snipping out and ad
or clipping the hair…
Snip, snip, clip, clip…

With scissors, some paper and rock,
He tried hard to make a new clock.
But his efforts all failed,
And, frustrated, he wailed,
‘It ticks but I can’t make it tock.’
"Rock, Paper, Scissors" played with my brother
We'd usually fight, then here came mother
I'll thump your head!
Now off to bed!
While our giggles we'd try to smother
Would you like to challenge your mind
Easily and without far to climb.
Place your palm out open wide
In your mind try and decide
Show me cutting, hard or thin hide.
Flatten my hand to claim Paper
Rock is her choice so I beat her
But Scissors will conquer
I'll change my gesture
To make sure I'm always the winner

The scissors are beaten by the rock
Man made steel has been left in shock
Now the rock has been beat
By a flimsy light sheet
The winning paper is where our words talk
Prepped to become political fixtures
mirror practice would reflect their picture
elite hand jive
making signs
first one taught was rock paper scissors.

There once was a mad barber named Max
Instead of scissors, he wielded an axe
He chopped off your hair
And shaved your head bare
Then he rubbed on depilatory wax
The rock, paper and scissors game
at first glance may seem very tame,
but if you are the loser
and he's an abuser
your wrists may be set quite aflame.
For pd.s contest
How badly you want a ride on my bike
How many times I've said "go take a hike"
To settle this dispute
Rock-paper-scissors...SHOOT!
My scissors crashes as your rock does strike
