I‘m ill Two chopsticks grew on my hand, Just like the familiar brown-red pair we use at home, with slender tips, they grew on my right hand, crossing in my palm. They don't hurt normally, But when I try to bend them, they ache. So, I have to hold them every day, open my hand, then grip them again, open, grip, open... One day, on the street, A stranger stopped me, someone I didn't know, Tall, thin, with semi-long curly hair, smoking a cigarette. He asked if I had any money, I said no. He noticed, I was holding something in my hand, And asked what it was. I said it's chopsticks. Why are you holding chopsticks he asked. I'm not holding them I replied they've grown on my hand." He didn't believe me And insisted on prying my hand open to see. It hurt a lot, I asked him to stop, but he wouldn't. He pried my fingers apart, one by one…… Snap! The chopsticks fell on the ground, And I had nothing in my hand anymore.
