never have this problem…
keep two 2 yes two hands on the running tool
one hand driving waving at passing friends
leaves open a widening margin for error
TWO 2 2 hands on
one left and one right
slip em under your head at night
photos I dont wanna look
no matter what angle you took
the empathy overwhelms me
I just dont wanna see
the old man that helped me take
my hand from the clothes ringer
when I was a kid was missing knuckle or two.
all those fingers that survive tell the tale
to all the survivors on all hands on deck
with gestures and hand shakes
attention to the job is what it takes
anybody speaking to me while a tool is running in
my control gets and deserves my Immediate
and vociferous distain…after the tool stops.
my whole body suffers to hear of your circumstance
from my ears to my marrow
my prayers for your wholeness
and survival intact.
