On-Hands

My hands have taught me so much
Scarred with experience
Callused, cracked and dry.

Strong,
Blocky in structure
Capable of destruction, but used for
Learning.  The blind ***** protecting
My hands does much seeing, indeed.

They have a mind of their own.
Sometimes I have control, and
Other times I let them finger
Things out on their own.

I asked my hands: “Who
Are you to intend?”
And the hands spoke thus:
“You should have read the
Manual.”
