Your Weak Wrist
Not an ankle… it’s Archille’s wrist
Your weak wrist/ will have to understand this,
It will help you reach for newer things in your mind.
Your weak wrist/ will have to understand this,
And bring you down to what you’re supposed to find.
One wrist is stronger, the other one weaker. One plays the game, the other’s on bleachers.
You may think your tough wrist is the one to follow, the one that shows the way to tomorrow.
But your weak wrist? Your weak wrist will be the one to do the trick. It will make you work harder to overcome the trap you’ve set in your mind.
Your weak wrist will initiate the kiss, bring you forward to a new life outside the grind. Your weak wrist will redefine this, swing you forward on a brand new kind of vine!

The Tiniest Thing
What is the tiniest thing worth? Will you know it when you see it? Will you know how much it might mean to someone else? The tiniest thing could be a kind gesture… it only takes a second, but can change everything. It could be a few notes hummed, that touches someone’s heart. I could be a lucky penny left behind that brightens someone’s day.
