The meaning of her rings April 2012

 

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.
