Dust off fingernails, blowing cuticles clear. Orange peel skin when scabs have dried over- where shall I swim now? Hot tub blood boiling then bruises disappear, shelved away in the attic.   Deadly dull so I chomp, bit, byte. A byte is 8 bits binary math, base 2 not 10. Ones... twos... fours and so on **** am I bleeding? Dried pool in the sun, metal tongue lapping dust hieroglyphics lost in translation. Back, back, back to routers. Why don’t I paint my nails? She asked me that today. You don’t highlight the anxious massacre.
