Lemon
If you cut a lemon in half
You'll have two distinct pieces
Each one representing
One half of a lemon
Yet now,
Its not so much of a lemon
As it is two distinct pieces
Of that lemon
Licking the lemon juice off the knife
Is dangerous
Imagine cutting the corner of your mouth
And then lemon juice
Ouch
But you already know that the knife
had little, if anything, to do
With creating two distinct pieces
Of that lemon
Sure, the rind and the pulp
Were split by serrated metal
(The wooden handle a little loose from when dad
did the funny thing with his teeth)
Limón
Si cortas un limón por la mitad
Tendrás dos piezas distintas
Cada una representando
Una mitad de un limón
Sin embargo,
Ahora no es tanto un limón
Sino dos piezas distintas
De ese limón
Lamer el jugo de limón del cuchillo
Es peligroso
Imagina cortarte la comisura de la boca
Y luego jugo de limón
Ay
Pero ya sabes que el cuchillo
Tuvo poco, o nada, que ver
Con la creación de dos piezas distintas
De ese limón
Claro, la cáscara y la pulpa
Fueron divididas por metal dentado
(El mango de madera un poco suelto de cuando papá
hizo algo gracioso con sus dientes)
