Bulldog Clip of Love

Binding all things with pressed lips
Made of sheet steel, two hands clasped
Stainless and bare, or coated dark
Edges are blunt and sharp enough

Can sometimes trap a rat on its grips,
Or no more than a tiny bag for a doll
Size pertinent to the jumble of sheets--
flying in disarray, if only unattached.

As steady as the stacks, it rusts not.

In constant tension, it can
only hold so much weight, 
                                         
                                              ‘til it snaps.
