CRIMSON SOUTHPAW
Tellim Harobed
11 September, 1996

leftie
left
to dance
in a room overfull
of wrong-sided
people

i move left,
everyone else moves
right
(wrong)

my face burns
crimson,
red as the right foot
of the
(unfortunate) person
on my left side

oh, well
at least I'm unique

*****

Welcome to the world of lefties -
where only left is right!
