Tools


I was given these tools,

ten digits to flex and manipulate,

with which to grasp, to punch and pick, to turn, twist and let go.

I was given these tools,

these arms to swing high and low, these legs with which

to kick, jump, crawl and walk, to stand upright, to run and grow.

I was give these tools,

a brain with which to think, to feel and emote,

to imagine and create, to discover, to learn what I need to know.

I was given these tools,

internal organs with which to breath, to pump,

to digest, filter and excrete.

I was given these tools,

muscle to motivate and propel, skin and bones to support

and hold the whole assemblage together.

Oh, and these tools would not be complete without the two feet

given me, directing to, from and away, occassionally slipped into

a size 12B shoe which fits most suitably. (The shoes, of course, are

an accessory and are not included naturally.)

Tool box damn near complete...

Let’s build something! Did you bring the hammer and nails?
