A Palm Reading
The chimp stretches its arm, a small hand, palm up under my chin, fingers and thumb supple, a pink-pawed sharing. It’s a palmistry offering, if only I had the skill to read it. There is a lifeline.

A dedicated book worm, ever eager to explore/ Feeding knowledge as if I possess/ The wisdom of the Gods and more/ When I'm down, to a soul of darkness/ I descend, but Books lift me up/ Making me a rainbow's friend/ In the pages, I find solace/ On a crisp Summer night's breeze/ Better than any movie/ Where imaginations seize/ My mind escape, in boundless...
