gesture

you could place the palm of your hand on the bare skin of her lap and it could only mean the demand for attention. or the palm could be pressed onto someone else's bare-skinned lap and send the warmth of affection through her flesh. either way, they seem like the same gesture, only they mean different emotions to you. but to her?

how important is it to distinguish one gesture from another to avoid misunderstood intentions?

a gesture easily misunderstood is a gesture that oughts most to be distinguished; better yet, avoided. will we then be so conscious of gestures misunderstood that they are better off internalised?

i want to feel the palm of your hand on my lap. but whose else's laps have those palms pressed? and whose others' were they placed?

what do your gestures mean?
