The nuances of the language
keeps one astonished
Amazing is the English language
with idioms and metaphors abounding.
A single word connotes hundreds of
meanings when used in different contexts
Wash my hands off is an idiom
that keeps me wondering
and the significance of it
is really worth a mention.
The literal and metaphorical
intonations are one and the same.
Wash the hands off the dirt
with the hand wash
is a sign of cleanliness.
Wash the hands also
points out a wash off
of the responsibilities.
A further probe throws light
on the detachment that
gets on with it a moral
alert saying that the
liability does not bind him or her
in future transactions.
Locking the whole in amazement
I wash my hands with a soap
then wash my hands off
from the compulsions I hold
in measured manner relieving me
from the duites as I am getting old.
