7 haiku 111
I cut my finger
with a steak knife while trying
to cut potatoes.
Cut, I somehow thought
to remove pan from burner,
to wash bloody knife.
Cut, safe from burning
my breakfast, wrapped my finger
in paper towel.
Breakfast safe, direct
pressure applied to my cut,
watched cat watch me wince.
Inside five minutes
blood stopped, idly considered
calling out of work.
Thinking of skipping
idly, considered trip to
emergency room.
Replacing the pan,
found my wound now clean and dressed
in time for breakfast.
