i've got this band aid on my finger,
from yesterday after work.
i took a slice at my finger
with my pocket knife
while opening some boxes in the
warehouse.
it hurt a little.
now,
only a day later,
it's collected dust,
and turned brown with my fingernails
from the dried up blood.
when i take the band aid off,
the cool clean air will refresh it.
the soap i will use to wash it will
sting,
and the anti biotic i tend it with
before applying a crisp new bandage,
will heal a soul.
another scar to my battered hands,
from papercuts, burns, and the incidental razor
blade,
more character and charm than a beat up
shoe.
