Unhanded

i'm left handed
right footed
my left hand brandishes a pen
my right wields the scissors

sport ought to be simpler
but i snooker with my left
and i squash with my right
i should have been a boxer
standard
or south paw
i'm a switcher

a pitcher west
a batsman east

at least
the knife and fork do not trade places

my guitars are specially made
or restrung

but the song of your voice
when you saw that my ticks
went the same way as yours
(an unwanted pregnant pause)

turned the bronzewound strings
into overcooked pasta

was my boy avatar so keen to impress
he forbade the grey computer
from picking sides?

or maybe
besides
my brain likes the overlap in the venn diagram
the novocaine numbness of not fitting

is fitting
