OWIE OWIE OWIE

today was a special day.
emma was going to be baptized
and i was dressed, 
ready to go...
just as soon as
i picked up my couch
 from grandma garffs.
the workers that were going to assist us
were on a remodel.
rick,
suggested i step inside
to observe the progress.
he introduced me to the workers
as i made way...
"OWIE ! OWIE ! OWIE !"
i am not sure what happened,
but something did.

the blood was pooling quickly.
i became frightened.
HURRY ! 
HURRY ! 
HURRY !

the look on rick's face
told me
this was no small deal.
no baptism for me today.
no couch for me today.
just the emergency room.
16 excruciating pokes.
"OWIE ! OWIE ! OWIE !"
11 stitches.
1 big baby.
ME !

rick said,
i cleared out the waiting room.
the physician's assistant confirmed,
"a few asked me,
 'is everything was okay back there?'"

they heard me ????
OWIE !"
did i really use the word 
OWIE !"

summer break
appears to have it's own agenda.
