on the day i smashed my
lucky mug
i later un-bubble-wrapped my
right hand and
chopped it off

(accidentally,
of course-
these things are always
accidental).

and i told myself
it was okay because
after all,

there was superglue in the drawer,
and i could use the lucky mug as a
pen ***

(great plan, nice work, so far so good).

but then i ran into a
slight conundrum because
really,

what use are pens when your
hand is gone?

(please bring my bubble wrap back)
