How Many Hands?

You're making a meal


You're writing a paper


You're running a marathon


There is help


So many hands at your disposal


One voice calls to you:


"Many hands make light work"


Another shouts from above:


"Too many spoil the brew"


Contradictory statements, mind you


Do you find the middle ground?


Do you choose one or the other?


Do you do neither


And take the risk to suffer


You sit with all the voices screaming


Contradicting without meaning


And you simply shout:


"How many hands!?"


They are silent after that


So many voices


But like so many things


No definitive answer
