Delicate Touch

Forget your mouth, yes. Instead, I want you to grab it. I ask that you put your fingers around it. How much can you squeeze it, while you watch ever-so-closely its tip? Everyone has one, but this one is mine, and I allow you to handle it. Encircle it with your hand. Now increase the pressure, slowly. And when a certain point is reached, you'll see it exude and ooze and there'll be no stopping it.

And that's the thing. You'll never get the toothpaste back in the tube.
