Left Hands With Purpose

From the train platform I see you Actually - all are watching As rap music blares from a dark blue Hyundai All of you sing out the words with a special attitude – “In my Mercedes” Four boys standing in oversized khakis – each one His left hand clutches the zipper area of his pants- tightly You hold them up – but to avoid what? The falling? – I do not think so Each left hand has a purpose now You are free and brave I envy your purpose And there on the train platform – I declare – in my mind only One day – I too will be brave and dedicate my life to holding my pants up And giving my left hand a meaningful purpose.
