it is clear
whomever it was
yhat designed
the sleeve
in which a
band aid is in
did not fully
consider the
pain in the ass
of opening one
simgle handed
as if a cut
on the fingers
was a step
farther than
expected

or maybe
whomever it was
didn’t consider
people trapped
in perpetually
frozen solitude
bleeding profusely
all alone

i just know
my thumb hurts
and the person
that made antiseptic
can fuck themselves
as well
while i drip crimson
tears onto my thigh
trying to get
a band aid open
