With These Fingers

With these fingers… I have piloted a spaceship to the moon; Circumnavigated earth in a hot air balloon; Made countless women swoon. With these fingers… I have changed past histories; Conversed with talking trees; Solved life’s mysteries. With these fingers… I have seen young soldiers die; Weaved some awful lies; Made ex-lovers cry. Electrical pulses from the brain, Starts fingers dancing a tapping refrain, Acting as my soul’s window pane. Lightly strumming the new keyboard, Replacing the pen as the mighty sword, Many illnesses I have cured… With these fingers.
