174 mL

Another day of selling my body

Left arm, Orange ring

I don’t really have much to say today

I’ve gotten pretty used to the routine

So things aren’t sticking out as strange

Though, writing a poem has become

A part of the routine, so

Even though I have nothing to say

I’ll still say it anyways

Just to keep with the tradition

Of passing time by writing rhymes

Something interesting I noticed

Is how the donation process

Goes in cycles

Where it drains blood

Then puts it back

Before draining some more

& I’ve noticed how much is taken

Before restarting the cycle

Changes quite a lot

Normally

I’d expect to see

Around 110-130 mL

Taken from me at a time

Until taking around 830-840 mL

However, this time it’s way higher

With the first cycle taking 174 mL

Interesting how numbers work
