My Hands
The skin around my right hand is too tight, it
is crushing the bones in that hand into tiny
sharp pieces, that are cutting through the skin,
and making it bleed. Soon because of the
considerable pain, and the inability of the hand
to function properly, I will have to ask my father
to amputate it, like he did with my left hand...
Here he comes now with the meat cleaver...
Afterwards when the stump has stopped bleeding,
he will make me a wooden hand to fit upon the
wrist, like he did after he amputated my left hand.
I just hope I don't get termites...
I would ask him to fit a plastic one on, but he is a carpenter,
and I wouldn't like him to be insulted, and anyhow he
did an excellent job with my feet...
