How to write a villanelle

Think of yourself as a DJ remixing a sample.
Try to find a rhyme scheme that won’t get grotesque.
This particular piece is a bad example.

The world is the size of an index card now,

accessible all at one touch.

I never did love the knife.
Just once I felt his dull
serrations. It wasn’t his fault.
He didn’t intend to cut me.
But after that, his very weight
against me made me cringe.

Twenty-two firefighters labored to deliver you,
yours a different kind of fire.

Here, eat this fucking sandwich

that I had originally intended to make
for myself but later realized

was no good for me
