Could you make a fist, not to box, <br />the faces of the suspicious characters, <br />from the middle eastern and tropical shores? <br />Could you make a fist in the wee hours, <br />Of the morning to pick up the tooth brush, <br />To clean the tiny utensils in the mouth, <br />Could you make a fist without feeling the pain, <br />That pokes as the thorns in the flesh, <br />Before making a fist, stretch your fingers apart, <br />Keep your hands together and look up to the Lords, <br />Say the prayers whatever you desire, <br />Then move one finger forward, now right thumb in front, <br />Followed by the left thumb, slowly clasp those fingers, <br />Now you can look up to the sky, searching for the signs, <br />You may see the cross, crescent moon and the holy trinities, <br />Keep those fingers in the same position and flip as the fish do, <br />Don’t pressurize the fingers and the points where they touch, <br />Slowly twist your hands as you do when you hip dance, <br />Do it for a minute or two, now release your hands, <br />Keep your fingers apart and then slowly make a fist, <br />Is it still painful, reduced or the same? <br />If it is boring clasp the hands of your partner, <br />You can spread, clasp and flip as told earlier. <br />What was easier once may become tougher, <br />But the hearts always soften it to be subtler.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-to-make-a-fist/
