But I lied. They don't. Her hands are very small, So small as to grasp a thousand TINY WORLDS While mine are too big, So big as to grow myself into this singular lonely DEMANDING one TOGETHER Sometimes my fingers slip through and The too-fast-cars Chasing the politics Swaddling the wet rashed babies Birthed from the awkward *** The tongue-tied trying Fall into CONSTRUCTION gaps We didn't plan our fingerprints. But what a stupid thing to say.

OUR HANDS FIT PERFECTLY TOGETHER
But I lied. They don't. Her hands are very small, So small as to grasp a thousand TINY WORLDS While mine are too big, So big as to grow myself into this singular lonely DEMANDING one TOGETHER Sometimes my fingers slip through and The too-fast-cars Chasing the politics Swaddling the wet rashed babies Birthed from the awkward *** The tongue-tied trying Fall into CONSTRUCTION gaps We didn't plan our fingerprints. But what a stupid thing to say.
