"I guess my hand has gone on holiday now"

*Hand on Holiday* *I woke up this morning my right hand did not* *My left hand remembered my right hand forgot* *But has remembered something is wrong with me* *Making it challenging to write poetry* *Being distracted neurologically* *Which is about as logical as I get* *I keep waiting for it to wake up and yet* *Watching this hand write as though it belonged to* *Somebody else entirely and not to me* *Is a worthwhile if unsettling thing to do* *An alternative perspective certainly* *Not artifice nor literary device* *My numbed flesh-and-blood right hand makes me think twice* *To make this estranged member work properly* *If I am dreaming and wake up suddenly* *Then you will never read these lines because they* *Will not be written into the light of day* *But if you are reading this my hand is numb* *A fascinating foretaste of things to come* *At least I finished my seventh book somehow* *I guess my hand has gone on holiday now* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV*

Dearest Steven
Are you being comical... or are you really 'distracted neurologically'? Well written, no matter how you did it .. whatever hand!!

That often happens with my foot. Perhaps it's protesting that I work it too hard?
