I always look at her fingers
when we're in the
office together,
to see if she wears
rings or not,
she doesn't always
and sometimes
wears one on her thumb on one hand
or a ring on the middle finger of the other,
sometimes she does
both
and I wonder, what does it mean?
Not that I think this is a signal or something,
but rather wonder if
it significant
something she is
thinking or feeling,
like when one of the
old mood rings
turned black for mean or purple for horny,
her rings always
gold, telling me nothing,
raising the question
as to whether
someone gave her one or both
and wearing one or the other or both
means she is thinking
of him or her,
missing him or her,
on the other hand,
these many mean nothing at all,
the way tea leaves mean nothing
except for the need
of another refill,
if only there was
some way to know
from what she wears when,
what she is about.
