FINGER

I lost my finger today
I'm not sure exactly what happened
I was washing my hands and noticed it's gone
I had ten where now there are nine

I re-traced my steps all day
I thought I'd recover it surely
I'd been in just one room for nearly a week
The finger, it never appeared

I lost my whole hand today
Exactly when, I couldn't tell you
I was moments away from trimming my nails
But all I could do were my toes

I lost both my arms today
I probably wouldn't have noticed
I was going to brush my teeth before bed
Turns out you need arms to do that

I lost both my legs today
Although when and how, that escapes me
I'd started to make my way toward the shower
But ended up flat on my face

I lost my body today
I know now exactly what happened
The body in question was never my own
Without it I'm perfect and free
