of the Jungle
while walking
left in my left hand
keeping wife's warmth
Times Square in New Year
i am passing....

many wonder why this was so
He wrote with his left hand
thus keeping ink off his fingers,you understand...

through no fault of her own actually
tried to catch me while falling Friday
Shows me how sore a left hand can be...

and nobody thought him to be funny
he broke his left hand
when he fell in the sand
and now he has lost all his money...

No media mileage
No publicity
If your right hand
Would dole out
Something for the needy
Let not your left hand
Know it....

Their lunch was disturbed by a fork
Left hand or right?
Wait!  What a fright!
Its Trump's New York!  Quick!  Sniff the cork!...

What the right hand is doing

Beware it may hold a knife
And stab you in the back

The right hand is thy spirit
The left hand is thy soul

The right hand is thy good
The left hand takes control

The right hand is thy neighbor
The left hand feels so cold...

right hand pulls us tight
heartbeats like dynamite
LOVE is pain

Playful as a puppy
pouncing, as a child I'd 
pound upon black and white
planks, listening to the
pitch, noticing that my
Pa's voice sounded like the
placement of my left hand.

somewhere out there,
someone has written a brief message 
in permanent ink
on their 
right hand,
reminding themselves not to wash their
left hand,
because they need to remember what they wrote
there....

  each step cautious
twitching side to side 
  left hand trembling, along for the ride

Tapping out the narrow path every morn
  to the place his soul was reborn...

It would hook faeries and sling them about.
They could ride it back to me and do a jig on my left hand.
My boomerang would be musical, joining a mariachi band....

Don't put your left hand in
don't shake it all about
stand 2 metres away
and mumble lyrics
from beneath the mask we
can never take off
no more space to dance
no time to stop
just is
we are this way...

i went to the pope to ask;but i got the answer without questioning;in his left hand was a bible but in his right was a rifle....

 with that mind set, tall ships sailed west
 rapists for the father-land
 Holy word in right hand
 to convert heathens
 while left hand stole
 and bled dry
 native
 souls...

I can dress up like a pirate
in a hat, an eye patch
a peg leg and a hook for a left hand
settling on an island paradise
drinking coconut water and hoarding gold
while still having a mermaid as my best friend...

A moment of truth
a century of lies
The left hand deflects 
what the right hand decries   

A little bit pregnant
the ending begins
A monster gestating 
—and living within

You look like something I drew with my left hand
And I'm bilingual, but I'm sure you know where I stand
Don't mean to offend
But invert to your other end
Most assuredly you'll be much more in demand...
