what a shame

three lines of poetry but not a haiku

Image description:

“Satan Smiting Job with Boils,” by William Blake, courtesy of the Met’s online image collection. Image description: Illustration of a triumphant, muscular figure (Satan) standing over a prone figure (Job), pouring liquid onto them from a cloth, with a kneeling figure observing. This is accompanied by text referencing the Biblical story that reads “And smote Job with sore Boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” Cropped from the original and red tinged by yours truly.

My bad foot’s at a 9 on the scale today

And I can’t even make a poem out of the pain

Except by living through it
