the wrong thing to do

as the sliver
of wood
breaks the skin
and slides
into my thumb.
i know
it will trouble on
down the road.
i should stop right
this moment
and get the splinter
out.
but i don't.
i have work to do.
strange
how we know what
pain
lies ahead, and yet
we press on,
hoping for the best.
