funny blood

my blood is totally funny 
in reasonable amounts 

sitting there all red. 
It's like 
it looks like a cartoon 

except 
maybe more slick,
smeary with a foot-track shot
through where one slipped
- trying too hard to get a towel!
Wham! Missed the mess, thankfully 
- and glistening like a liquid 
jeweled dark ruby pool, where
it sits undisturbed 

like a cartoon. Except 
what's it doing there? 
It's funny, because absurd. 
Hey buddy! Why you
outside me? Did you
get lost? Some loss 
of blood, you know, 

you feel bad.
Poor blood! 

Blood is kind of 
like our own buddy 
on the inside.
It's funny 
to see that dude
get out, 

except 
blood

doesn't do well 
on its own
