Opposable


If we had four paws

instead of two hands

We could not

 

Hold axes to chop down trees

Say hurtful things with our fingers

ignore each other with touch screens

pull triggers on guns

construct fuses on bombs

 

But afterall 

to err is man

So i must wonder what

we would do

with our teeth...
