The Dying of the Fingerprints
When you grow old
Your fingerprints
Start fading.
The lines and whorls
That make up
Your identity
Break down
Disjointed.
You are rendered
Hard to tell,
To capture.
Safer to commit crimes
With gloves off.
Or just to touch
Someone
Post mortem
With your blurring
Fingertips.
