Two digits can be...A Poem by Maxwell Ryder
Two fingers flash the world
One index, one middle, Splayed in the letter V; But upside-down They make the man walking On my old yellow pages; And they are the shape Women’s legs go when men Are on a mission to please, Or if you stick your tongue through, cunningly, it becomes harder to breathe; So ironically, together, they can make peace. Individually, however, One points and orders, Or says, God’s watching, “Don’t you dare!” The second tells people To go f**k themselves, “I don’t give a care!” The two fused is pagan speak for Jesus, Or a substitute for phallus; And all twisted up is the sign of good luck, like two snakes copulating, is Christian to ward off Evil, a cough or a sneeze, Or to tell a white lie One didn’t mean. Oh, the symbology Two digits can be! © 2017 Maxwell Ryder |
