to watch the blood curl
in burgundy
waves, wispy strands
out of the vein
and through the tube
then bagged,
to be used
by others.
someone you don't
know, both stranger
by face and name.
you may save a life
with your precious
O negative brand,
of juice,
or your own.
it's mainly the needle
going in
that you can't stand.
