Hands

I can’t stop looking at my hands

at the whorls and lines engraved in them

I wonder how our lives can be mapped out in those lines

before we even have a chance to start living

so maybe there is another higher power somewhere out there

deciding what is destined to happen to us

and I envy all the palm readers in the world

because if I could predict my future just by inspecting my hands

I would have made better decisions

and far less mistakes.
