a patch is a patch

Maybe its because
I ordered new kinds
of patches
and they are in.

Old kind, Nexcare on top... Ortopad then Krafty Patches, shows the size difference.

Options, I like options.

But I've noticed
unsettled feelings
over the patch
have crept back in.

So I did
a simple search
on the word
patch...

verb. 
mend or strengthen 
(fabric or an item of clothing) 
by putting a piece of material 
over a hole 
or weak point in it.

ok, I like
the verb.
He patches.
He strengthens.

go on...

noun. 
a piece of cloth 
or other material 
used to mend or strengthen 
a torn or weak point. 

yeah, other material
you could say that
but the weak point part
huh... His patch
is over the
strong point.

a tiny piece of black silk 

or court plaster 

worn on the face or neck 

especially by women 

to hide a blemish 

or to heighten beauty 

interesting...

heighten beauty 

ummm ok
He does make a patch
look pretty darn cute!
But in what century 

were these patches worn?!
Where patches 
the primitive form of
make-up?

a piece of material 

(as adhesive plaster) 

used medically 

usually to cover a wound 

usually disk-shaped piece of material 

that is worn on the skin 

and contains a substance 

(as a drug) 

that is absorbed at a constant rate 

through the skin 

into the bloodstream  

<a nicotine patch>  

adhesive

medical 

disk-shaped

skin... got it.

drug 

absorbed 

bloodstream... no.

only unless

the drug is 

vision

or confidence

It would be great

if he would 

absorb that.

a shield worn over 

the socket of an 

injured or missing eye 

nope, the Eye

IS in there

healthy too!

not injured

not missing

a small piece 

I think I like

this one the best

small piece

yes, the patch

is only a 

small piece 

of who he is.

 
a part or area 

distinct 

from that about it 

<cabbage patch> 

well yes

the eye patch 

is a distinct part

of his face.

 
a period of time 

<was going through a rough patch>

Ha, this one makes

me laugh...

yes this is just

a period of time

and yes 

it is definitely 

rough!
How did they know?!

someone or something 

equal or comparable 

usually used in negative constructions  

<the new chairman isn't a patch on his predecessor>

He is someone

He is definitely equal

But he is 

positively

the best

just the way

he is

patch and all.

 

a piece of cloth 

sewed on a garment 

as an ornament or insignia

Well, the patch

could become

his insignia?

It depends on the day

whether it's

ornamental or not.

a temporary connection 

in a communication system 

(as a telephone hookup) 

temporary yes

communication system sure

his face

his vision

let's hope 

the connection 

is made

a minor correction 

or modification 

in a computer program

the last one
so true

minor correction

only in his brain

after all

that is really 

why 
He patches, verb.

He wears a patch, noun.
We're talkin 

brain here!
