Hands

So, as I stated on a post, these words woke me up.
If you read my last poem - there is a vast difference.

Sometimes, there is deep and intricate meaning ...

sometimes ...

what is given to me is silly and lighthearted.

I'll take it all and share it.

Please enjoy!

Hands
by Lyn Marinello

You can show them to a face,
Run them, frantic, through your hair
Thumbs up when things are good
Two thumbs down when life's unfair
Pointer up for 'wait a minute'
'I love you's' three digits away
A purposefully rigid tall man
Screams that things are not okay
One finger ringed claims we're married
Four flicked 'neath the chin isn't wise
Two from eyes warn 'I'm watching you'

Four waved at the throat's your demise
We shake hands to keep our word
Do high fives to celebrate
Tap very impatient fingertips
When we simply cannot wait
We clasp hands in fervent prayer
On date, fingers intertwine
Wag them at another
When they may have crossed the line
There's congratulatory clapping
And wringing of the hands
Banging clenched fists on a table
Impels one to meet demands
White power's somehow misconstrued
From the simplest 'Okay'
Two paws, palms up has come to mean
'I don't know' in current day
Bunches fingers mean 'capeesh?'
A wave can mean 'Goodbye'
Hang ten is thumb and pinky
A wave can also be a 'Hi!'
Two fingers denote 'loser'
Two different guys gesture 'peace'
Turn the 'loser' on his side
Now you brandish a fingered 'piece'
Pointer and pinky can surely 'rock on'
You can cross some just for luck
Left or right, the pointer alone
Can direct you when you're stuck
Rubbing thumb and forefinger means money
Two hands cupped can create a heart
Right hand raised vows honesty
Lending one's a positive start
These fabulous little additions
At the end of everyone's wings
Are really quite communicative
Amazingly useful things
