Opposing Forces

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence. - Sir Isaac Newton

i sing without knowing any of the words

fly on the wings of well-fed birds

hum without knowing the melody whilst blessing myself in thirds

i strum without a guitar

drum without a drum

always sleeping well as i curl up and suck my only thumb

Author's Note

"I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail." - Thoreau
