5 FINGERS

Why 5 fingers
In God’s mind,
why 5 fingers?

In our minds
why 5 fingers?
Why this evolution?
 
Left hand,
right hand….
Why 5 fingers?
 
Pinky and thumb ….
Index finger ….
Those 2 other fingers ….
 
To grab, to hold,
to scratch, to tap,
to sign our name….
 
To watch people
use their hands –
sign language and texting.
 
Amazing, to look
at our hands and
wonder: why 5 fingers?

SOMETIMES ON A PLANE
 
Sometimes alone on a plane
or in some place by ourselves,
people talk to people they
don’t know. They tell them
things they don’t even mention
to close friends or family.
They mention where they
are broken – or how the world
is treating them or where
they need the glue called love.
