toe
raze what happened was i stubbed my toe going up the stairs. i don't know how i did that. i probably couldn't make it happen again if i tried. it was the big toe on my left foot. that's the worst toe you could wound out of all of them. if you're me, i mean. the nail hasn't been right for at least ten years. maybe more. but it's held on. it was still holding on when i got upstairs. not by much. i tried to clamp it down with a band_aid. bad idea. the whole hunk of alien protein sloughed off when i slipped my sock back on, improvised tape and all. i guess there's still some amount of torn talon left. i don't really know what it is i'm looking at now. the top of that toe resembles something that was horribly burned in a fire and somehow survived. it looks like a broken, bloodied arm in a too-small sling. it looks like a mouth teeming with black teeth. it looks like a lot of things. the one thing it doesn't look like anymore is whatever the top of a toe is supposed to be. 241017
