The truth is, in the 30’s, everyone worked hard 
with their hands. The brave movie director would 
show hands and linger on them.

The cowardly movie director would not. Often a pair 
of hands would hold a wedding ring. One pair would 
hand the ring to the other. The couple would be young 

and filled with hope, but their hands were old and gnarled 
and could only think of rain, crops, the seasons, the sun, 
the future, sex, more sex, rain.
