Kristen/Snap

by Jenny Nix

snap


out of it

change you mind

just get on with it

be happy

grateful

everything is going to be alright


trying

trying

trying


learning to snap as a child

someone has to show you the way


here is how you do it

finger slides on finger


little sounds at first

right hand easier than left


watch them succeed

hear the sound


practice, practice, practice and then you have it


can't be broken down into little lessons

slide the fingers just so


what is the success?

a tiny noise...little finger sliding sound


snap, snap, snap

now it is done, the technique mastered


never forget, like riding a bike

the action itself, friction


a tiny choreographed finger dance

snap, snap, snap


and what is next? 

does the pain subside?


are the lessons learned?

the fears are still there


it was not alright

can it be again?


such a temporary thing

snap, snap. snap


have I gotten anywhere?

yes


out of it, no

used to it,more


knowing what is coming, sort of

snap, snap snap
