Raw Hands Raw Soul

My hands are dry cracked bleeding,

Split open red.

I wash my hands too much, isn’t that tragic?

It must speak of my raw soul,

The way I scrub away

The mean customer last week and

The way my friend looked at me when I said I couldn’t make it.

I wonder which path is better:

Leave the germs on or wash them off?
