Left and Right

mindlessness is possible
if you've lost your mind
left your mind in left field
and left it left behind

righteousness is possible
if you've lost your rights
righting wrongs, right away
on the right side of the fence

Leftness's really possible if you've left all right, rightness's possible if you've left all left behind. It was really perfect entry, John)
