Fingerprints
the friction ridges on his fingers
are different than most
where there are usually arches
there are the shapes of broken hearts
and laughing faces
in his
where commonly you find loops
instead you will find tracings of teardrops
and tornadoes
and trees
and suns
and even
a moon
houses with gardens
and flowers in the gardens
and bees in the flowers
and people in the houses
spreading honey and peanut butter on
pieces of toast
some of the people are dancing
making love
making dinner
and making music
others are making messes
they can never seem to clean up
or making choices they will only regret
there are towns and cities
and universes full of comedy
tragedy
and magic
angels smoking cigarettes and drinking vodka
criminals with wings and halos
man
animal
and monster
all alike in his prints
where typically you would see a whorl
in his you can see a world
upon each finger of the writer
there are thousands of places
each with thousands of lives
waiting to be born
waiting to begin
waiting for that first line
if only he could put his finger on it
