Bandages Made Easy

I wonder how my arms would have looked
Covered and criss-crossed with bandages
Rather than punctured with Elastoplast?
 
I wonder what other people would have seen
If my arms were covered and criss-crossed with bandages
Rather than punctured with Elastoplast
That only fell off anyway?
 
I wonder if the rumours would have differed
If, having seen, people drew other conclusions
From my arms covered and criss-crossed in bandages
Rather than haphazardly punctured with Elastoplast
That only peeled and fell off anyway?
 
I wonder how my skin would have looked
If it had known the gentle touch of bandages
Rather than the quick-fixing abrasions of Elastoplast
That never did what it was supposed to anyway?
 
I wonder if bandages would have left me without scars?
I wonder if I’d still be beautiful with my scars?
