Fingers

Fingers

From each root come five stems
with nice elongated shape.
Whether they are thick, long, skinny, or short
Critical is their role in our daily lives.

Everyday I look at them in awe.
Despite being different in height and size,
They can still make a fist
and raise a hell of a fight.

They are to us,
what the mouth is to babies.
We stick them in cold, hot, moist,
in places that are unfathomable to the mind.

We get them dirty, greasy, sticky,
and a quick soapy wash turn them clean.
They are my best wingmen,
Always help me deliver.

Thanks to dactyloscopy,
in this world each of us
stands alone, unique, and different
even from our identical twins.
