Hands

I was examining my hands today, and it was today I realized our hands haven't always been what they are. They were something else to begin with. Piece by piece they were cut out of the cloth we call our skin and over and over again did someone try to find a shape. Playing with patterns, trying to find the right fit. What would look good? Our hands aren't what we see them as. They were a never a whole, they were sewn together from the scrap that was left over after they crafted our bodies. They took what was left of the material and they cut pieces out. Look at your hands, and you can still see the stitches. Look at your wrists, and you will see where your hands were sewn on. This was a last minute addition. When the manufacturers saw all the left over cloth, they did not want to just leave it there. So they created the most useful things we have to date. It's a shame that oh too many times have and do people try to cut the stitching holding their hands to their wrists.
