Rock, Paper, Scissors

The lichen on the rocks is a rude and simple shield which beginning and imperfect nature suspended there. Still hangs her wrinkled trophy. - Thoreau

first you whipped out two slicing digits

i flung a sheet of five

then came a fist of basalt

no one won

Author's Note

"The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time." - Thoreau
