Sinistrality

Tonight, I want to say something wonderful For the left-handed people who can adapt to a world full of left-sided thinkers. The ones who can navigate with all the specially opposed tools, like the ones made standard for the 90%. I prefer their open-mindedness, abstract, creative, those kinds of thinkers, The ones who can use a can-opener backward or flip scissors upside-down just to cut. The ones who twist their paper or hands gracefully to write beautiful things. The ones who learn to use a mouse with their flimsy palm, while they search on their computer for left-handed poets. They are the truly special ones who change the world. That’s why I want to say something astonishing Like: Sinistrality, a graceful glove that is worn on the opposing hand, those destined to be struck down by the back-hand of a culture that doesn’t understand what it really means to think with a right-sided brain. Those few special beings have always impacted the world The greatest minds, the greatest hands, the ones like Napoleon Bonaparte, who strategically learned To lead with his dominant hand as a guide to conquer and rise to be great. Leonardo da ’Vinci who had the creator’s gift bestowed upon his left hand. To write, paint, and create awe. Jimi Hendrix, a guitar God, played upside down, but not wrong. Mozart, Bill Gates, Aristotle, Leo Messi, Babe Ruth Michelangelo, Raphael, Rembrandt, Picasso, Ben Franklin, Darwin, Newton, Einstein, Marie Curie, Helen Keller, Joan of Arc, Queen Victoria, Oprah, Honestly, the list could go on and on and on… But instead, let us praise them for being so inclined to change the world by diverging their minds. Ode to Sinistrality, ode-to the right-thinking kind.
