The knife
Makes a song
Of two notes

As I cut potato
Slicing
Away from me

The angle
Cut through
The gold

Is such that
The blade
Slides off

And bangs
Onto
The board

Then I make
The opposite cut
Down
And towards me

So that the blade
Meets the board
Muffled
On either side
By potato flesh

And so
The note
Is duller

And on I cut

Out
And away
Banging

Back
And towards me
Muffled
