PICKING AT SCABS

PICKING AT SCABS There’s a link between smart and dumb Like just when things start to get better As if a wound on the skin as it’s healing Picking at the scab feels quite appealing But is not following process to the letter Such choices made are worse than some It happened whilst fiddling with a knife Now just stop digging if you’re in a hole A scab is the body’s protective response Yet it may not be what the instinct wants It’s the way we feel when not in control That resonance between instinct and life
