To Reach
by Philip F De Pinto
I held my hand
In the other
For no reason but
That hands are brothers
Or they could be sisters
Or brother and sister
No matter which
Hands don't have far
To reach
Discord or harmony
Over the mountain of the belly
To clasp like a bridge
And read
About the day
Hands will be too infirm and decrepit
To reach over the mountain
Of the belly to clasp
Like a bridge
On which to hold a newspaper
In the middle
And read
Their own obituary
