I almost lost a finger.

Not just any finger,

a right index finger.

Do you know 

What I do?


With that finger.


Things. 


Things of an extraordinary nature.

Drawing. 

Painting. 

Piano playing. 

Button buttoning.

Zippers of all sorts.

Nose itching. 

Teeth picking. 

Nail trimming. 

Tie tying. 

Skin cutting. 

Hairline stroking.

Jawline tracing. 

Lip line tracing. 

Other tracing…
