My Spotted Hands Click Out Words

My spotted hands remind me of a zebra’s fingers
Makes sense to no one except myself.
Instead of a piano, we play a keyboard.
Clicking and clacking.

One letter at a time comes clicking out.
N click, I click, G click, H click, T click.
Do I consciously think of the letters or do I think words?
My fingers take a word and click it out, without thinking.

It is automatic, like breathing.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
Thank you spotted hands!

She always takes the credit. She is a compliment hog. Ouch!

I think I can relate. I am amazed at how quickly a word in my head goes through my fingers and appears on the screen. Sometimes I'm positive I'm not even thinking that word when it appears magically.
