removing sutures

as i stare at the bright blue
stitches in my hand,
i think that i can take them out.
do i need to wait another
seven days.
the wound is sealed shut,
there's hardly any pain now,
and i'm able to flex my fingers
quite well.
will i still be able to play
the piano, of course, although
i should take lessons first,
i don't want the neighbors
banging on the walls again,
like they did when i took up
the trumpet.
