he remembered thinking
before the project began
- this will be easy -
he studied her lifeless form
for some time
then he
started to cut
it was easy
at first
one fluid movement
then
it got
harder
he became - frustrated - got - sloppy -
cut off one of her fingers
then
hurrying at the end
a
toe
when finished
he stood up
looked down on her
and
started to cry
his teacher
approaching from behind
remarked
---not bad---
you need to be a bit more careful
with the scissors
around the curves---
then
in front of the whole class
she held up his paper cut-out
and placed a
gold star
on it
