Hasty Hands

Thoughtless grabbing                                                                                                                                      With thick fingers                                                                                                                                       Clumsily pressing and flattening                                                                                                                        What was once                                                                                                                                              Round and full

Recklessly disfigured treasures                                                                                                                  Unwelcomed alteration

Unwanted imprints of                                                                                                                                  pristine fingernails,                                                                                                                                           well-lotioned knuckles                                                                                                                                    sanitized palms                                                                                                                                                  Into gritty authenticity.

One day guilt-ridden                                                                                                                                        over the ruins                                                                                                                                               Obliviously created,                                                                                                                                              only to go unnoticed                                                                                                                                           by the hands of haste.
