thus keeping ink off his fingers,you understand...

It was a collaboration, no, more of a conspiracy, as the left hand inquired of the right hand....Hey, what's up?

Backhanded
“All you can be is all you can be,”
damning with faint praise

A lover, not a girl to wed
—left hand falsely raised

Sonny
There once was a man named sonny
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...

Their lunch was disturbed by a fork

Wait!  What a fright!

Hands Tell Lies
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...

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.

The Forgetful
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....

Premium Member Portrait of a Holy Man
Beard bent over his walking stick
  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...

Not the Okey Dokey Song
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...

Why
I wanted to know why there are 16 old mothers,why there is rape,why there is sin?
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....

Might Is Right
might is right and white is meant to rule
 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...

Pirate On Deck
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...

Final Due Date
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

Secluded Maiden
In her complete solitude, 
she was tired and bruised...

Contemplating in a darkroom,
she was sitting with a vodka
in her left hand 
and on the other is a gun.
Her mind is bursting
with things one can't even fathom....

My Beautiful Hand
My left hand,

My right hand,

My upper hand,

My lower hand,

Left and right,

Up and down,my hands,

My hand comes over other hand,

My hand is not my hand,

My hand comes over other hand,

My hand is other one's hand!...
