Knife Fighting

Do you know how fast
a knife can penetrate
the life giving parts of
your body and drain all
the blood from you?

One thousand one.
One thousand two.

In a matter of
heartbeats
your life
on this earth
could be
through.

yikes.. I just watched a show on bullet proof vests last night, And then another on vests and such for knife protection, essentially a chainmail type thing.

And yes.. so, so horribly fast things can come to an end.. we just never know......

(blink, breathe, stand, fight)

Yeah, not bad this actually. Conversational, almost confessional - are you playing the Bond assassin or the suicide expert?!

Thank you GG, Matt, ccvulture, passing shadows and ink for responding...
Even though one of the stars of this movie was Leonardo I had the feeling that many of those of the female persuasion would avoid this movie due to the violence...His other movie "Catch Me If You Can" is more of a feel good type of movie....James
