by Carl Sandburg
The single clenched fist lifted and ready,
Or the open asking hand held out and waiting.
Choose:
For we meet by one or the other.
Loved the poem since it can refer to much more than a conflict betwen two people. For instance, to one's attitude towards the world. Whether you tend to expect the worst in every new situation, or let yourself be open to the best too.
