BUTTONED DOWN

G.A. Scheinoha

�� What if buttons are tender and to sew them on unleashes a primal scream? Then a walk past the tailor shop must be a study in medieval torture; a thousand howls of pain echo within.
�� Some have four eyes, others merely two. We’ve long since regarded them as holes because of their woefully empty stare. But how’d you feel if somebody plunged a needle into one of yours?
�� Of coure, there’s a hierarchy. “You’re not our kind,” scoff the bourgeois buttons; those whose bodies are never penetrated with thread, only attached by a loop on their backs. Though even here, recompense comes with the fact they’re usually the first to fall off.
