Grating Cheese
2004-07-10 8:19 p.m.

My poor thumb nail
While grating cheese,
The cheese knife slipped and
Sliced it off at the pink.

Poor thumb felt a
Slight pain biting,
Like sharp teeth that
Drew a line of red.

Pores soaked up blood
Leaving a pattern,
Washed by cold water running
Away from the tap.

Thumb wrapped in tissue
Dabbed away the pain.
Nail cut crooked above
A sad thumb print.
