His handshake is that of a vice grip that says
he is ready to get done what’s before him.
Another man I met had the handshake of
feathery vagueness.
How I present my unspoken message through
my hand explains who I am as I adapt that message
to the one I receive from another.
While mine is a firm strong grip, I don’t want to
harm someone with one that is infirm.
How to be true to myself and be present
for someone else.
