lefty

By: Anonymous

I wish I was left-handed for a day

Just to feel how my reflection lives

Beyond the fog-stained glass

As she wipes our window

To see my face, brush my teeth

And leave

I want ink to stain the side of my palm

Erasing every painful memory

I foolishly choose to write down

I’m only allowed to live in the now

Give me awkward greetings

As I reach for the wrong arm

Dance with my left foot

Cuz the right one’s asleep

Anecdotes told backwards

Tumbling from the other half of my brain

No one understands me

But the silverware
