The Pointing Finger

The Pointing Finger

The pointing finger has seen better days.
Its nail is thick and caked with grime,
Its skin is rough and blistered.
The cuticle is ripped,
The calluses are peeling.
Its knuckles gnarled, its creases cracked,
It trembles in the air.

Overhead, the moon is just a rock.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
