Funny how I can rule the world
yet fail to tie my shoelaces every day.
My fingers will not do what I long them too
and yet I can tilt my head and make it rain,
flick my hair and plunge the stock markets.
I can even tie everyone else's but whatever it is
about the angles,
the timing,
the mechanics of crossing them,
tightening them evenly without strangling my feet,
it is beyond me.
My back hurts as a result
my feet forever off kilter
my speech marred
my calculations
rarely right.
One does find hacks
find ways to conceal ineptitudes
learns to lie
masters pretending
and having a swagger
when really
you are drowning.
Only for the salt
I would perish at sea
her
him
it
us
them
salt
