Surfing across the paper in different directions,
Knowing methodically what to do
Printing an imitated expression on a face line by line
Expressing the inner most thoughts through movement and words,
Tirelessly dancing step by step, curve by curve
Gripping the pen without any sign of ennui, testing their speed
Pressing the keys of a giant keyboard, typing at a rapid rate
Hooking around heavy loads and carrying them for long distances
Breaking injuries acting as soft cushions lying on the ground
Pressuring and stroking wounds constantly to help heal them
Collateral bodies in amazing stunts, operating as natural stands
Helping their owners in many different, useful ways
People most of time think they aren’t advantageous at all
They don’t realize that whatever they do they use their…Fingers
It’s what they are for writing, drawing, caring, holding…
You get the idea – THEY’RE FINGERS
