Big Hands by Ryan Quinn Flanagan

apparently
I have big
hands

and know how
to use them

I have this on the good authority
of the sizing ladies at the wedding ring
places

and on the better authority
of my woman

which is why I am sitting here
staring so unnaturally
at my hands

wondering why cuticles
sounds so much like cubicles
of skin.
