Ten days at most,

so it could be less.

Ten days,

A one and a zero,

Like the number of hands he will have.

A kid almost ten,

So nine technically.

Too young,

And not even a teen

There was a chance to be saved,

But now it’s too late.

But you would be drowned in a what if,

If you think about it too much.

The surgery is in ten days at most,

So it could be in less days.

A permanent loss,

Of a limb,

An important one.

A one and a zero.
