An internal catalog of external pain.A Poem by citymouseThe title is far more literal than you think.A cut on the joint of my left ring finger.( How did that happen?) A first degree burn on my entire right thumb.(That is the last time I try to straiten my hair.I swear.) A scratch just above my left elbow. ( I think that happened when I was asleep. Am I possessed?) The middle of my back hurts.( I should remember to sit up.) That scare on my foot is itchy. (How I got it is a different poem.) My toes still hurt. (Stupid wall.) My ribs hurt.(What did I do to them?) My throat is sore.(I should drink more water.) I remember why my ribs hurt! I fell down the stairs. Again.
