your hands must have once


your hands must have once tapped to the beats of Ray Charles, Beyonce, or perhaps Kanye.

your hands must have once shot up in cheer for that touchdown by Davis or winning shot by LeBron.

if nothing else, your hands have grown in a world built by the labor of the very colored hands, your cold white hands turned around and  shot.
