When a situation isn't going to work out, why keep picking at the battle wounds?

Friday, September 22, 2006

it comes. . . it goes,
sometimes it's just as funky
as the jam betwixt our toes;
it spreads. . . it stinks,
invades our common senses
to where we no longer think;
it flakes. . .it cracks,
breeds microscopic anguish
that we often welcome back;
it crusts. . . it seethes
casts impetigo etchings
that we scratch until ONE bleeds.

Yeah that is some itch
if it feel good scratch it
I presently have an itch
on my operation scar
which is healing well
But I dare not scratch
From fear of infection.
Ain't itch a bitch

Love & Peace
William
