They curl and stretch as they go for the far off keys.
Hitting the buttons like hammers on strings in a piano
They get into a rhythm of such speed and precision.
Never making mistakes, never backspacing.
She uses shortcuts, Ctrl C, to Ctrl V, to Alt Tab and Ctrl Z
She uses the 10 key to type numbers and arithmetic.
Placing her whole hand over it and so efficiently,
Mathematically and precisely calculates my love
And just when I think I'm going to burst
She takes her phone out and I watch her text.
She doesn't know how I feel about her thumbs, but I'm dumb for them
They dance across the touchscreen
With no regard for their position on the glass.
She doesn't worry about typos she lets autocorrect do the work.
I wish I could predict her words like autocorrect does.
But I watch her thumbs, unbeknownst to her, as she tweets and texts
Hearing her nails click against the screen gives me shivers.
She closes the phone and I catch my breath.
I pretend I don't notice and everything is normal.
But when I hear the vibration and the chime of an incoming missive,
Her thumbs stretch as she exposes the keyboard and I'm numb again.
