Pinky Toenails

Please don’t touch my pinky toenails.
It reminds me of the first time I lost one to a concrete post.

Please don’t touch my pinky toenails,
or there will be squeaking of Styrofoam rubbing each other, breaking my skin.

Please don’t touch my pinky toe nails,
or I’ll be naked in Death's lustful stare.

Please don’t touch my pinky toenails,
but yours are the other eight.

The tiniest thing I wrote about
