WOW

I 
love 
hands,
wrists
and the way fingers bend.

Our hands pick things up;
forks and cups
and they are beautiful
how they fold underwear
and slip sweaters off hangers
how they hold pens and pencils and chopsticks
and other hands.

They know what to do.

My hand can write 
words 
almost as fast as I can think them 
and when I stop thinking my hand can keep moving and
