Two strangers, paired by destiny
Hands first opened, welcoming nervously
But soon they closed, fists forming mysteriously
Right saw first, how they were fading to black
He reached out, hand open, calling Left to reach back
But Left was still a fist, never opening up
While Right was still a palm, never giving up
For a year they remained, but alas not forever
As Right lost patience in this fruitless endeavour
Right resigned himself to their partnership's demise
While Left still was closed; never opened her eyes
Two hands they were, but never a pair
Never to clap, to create, to repair
