Pen and Skin

Calendars and daily planners,
are simply no match for the back of my palm,
just a step back from my left thumb,
a message that always tells me two things,

1) whatever it says
2) an estimate of how much time has passed since the last time I washed my hands

Clearly, it has been some time since,
"get mom's b-day present,"
that was last weekend,
and here I am on Wednesday night,
trying to figure out where I put my planner.
