Filing

I know how
My small fingernails and feet
Amuse you.
Cute you to me.

Just remember though
How wide and hard
Are my head and mouth.
Some things are bigger
Than they appear.

Dear dear.

I'm as cute as your last
Worst nightmare
Filing my nails as I watch you.

There's such a gift in your ability to convey the "everyday" as more than meets the eye. As a reader it intrigues and brings a depth to this poem and your writing in general.
I really liked that you used " Dear dear" as if it was an aside to yourself that you would not be taken lightly.
It provided a perfect segue to the conclusion and brought thought, feeling , and intent together into a tight diabolical little package.

It is late and I thought I would treat myself to a nice read as the day wore down. I was not disappointed.

Than they appear."
