HAND OFF
These are the hands
I want always to hold
to keep combined with mine
packed in some bondage slave-trick
that keeps us together
for all time.
And it doesn't matter to me
which hand of yours I grasp
your left or right.
If I handle your right,
then I can pick things up for you
delivering to you
writing for you
serving you always.
And if it's your left I get,
well, you can work for me
and that ain't too bad, neither.
I don't mind the inconvenience
the awkwardness down the street
as we, conjoined
stumble to destinations.
I only want to share time and space
with you
palm in palm
traveling to the future
with no one else in mind
or hand.
