Remembering my hands
I came into this world with two hands fit with five fingers
But I have only just noticed them today
They have matured along side me, collecting calluses along the way
They have their own creases and folds, the ability to change colors and communicate
They are able to build up the world around me
just as easily as they are able to destroy it
Although these hands have been held by others, they belong to me alone
They typed the words you see on your screen, bridging the gap between me and you
