Each finger performs forthwith the assigned functions freely, aware that interference imposed and the suffocating attire slipped in, can be unpleasantly chaotic, disturbing the digital harmony, for the fingers feel stifled. The garb of glove desensitizes their discerning dexterity, the hand dislikes.

Thumb Poetry
Writing a poem with only my thumbs Opposable digits are A-number one Will autocorrect fix the words I write wrong? Not all words are lucky as I coax them along My phone keyboard clicking as I’m typing the words Now back to correct my fast-thumb-spelling turds How long can I go with these poor thumbs of mine? Most likely for hours, they’re...
