A Raise of Hands

Two hands raise in a yellow wood and I-- I high fived the one less high fived And that has made all the difference Although sometimes I wonder whose hands were raised in a yellow wood And what they were doing just hanging out there by themselves -the end That poem is a great symbol of American ingenuity and interval, because who is to say what would have happened, were the other hand high-fived. What could have been the difference. But to be or not to be, that is the real question. And who is to say, what that statement even means, because as oft-quoth as it is, I daresay that it has lost most of it's meaning, whatever original meaning it once carried. But like other great works of non-fiction, Mockingjay, Mockinghay, The Gideons Bible, The Gray Demon of Sanditon, Abraham Lincoln and the War of Northern Aggression and many other works by Billiam Shakespeare including those on the list I just shared with you, it is just plainly quoth too much. For instance, when King Arthur says "Nevermore nevermore", are we simply reading the words or are we really listening to what is said. The answer to that question depends on if you are reading the book yourself or being read to by a friendly librarian.
