AGAIN

       stubborn Microsoft WORD insists it knows better than him what he wrote 

reason why he disabled Spell Check on his smartphone

                                                             it aint smarter than him

wrote half an inch as haf inch then merged them hafinch (did it again) which all-knowing all-seeing faultily-omniscient WORD “corrected” to hawfinch

                                      Whadadfucks a hawfinch

    Googled it

exists

       is a type of finch distributed in the whole of Europe Eastern Asia “Paleartic? in North Japan” North Africa “Morocco Tunisia Algeria”

    Paleartic

               “a zoogeographical region comprising Eurasia north to the Himalayas, together with North Africa and the temperate part of the Arabian peninsula.”

hawfinch

           a large finch of impressive proportions  eighteen cm tall  enormous conical bill  thick neck and head to match

Fantastic

learned something new everyday

                                    but

he lives in North America

his computer is registered in America

so why change his hafinch (did it again) to hawfinch

yes

     those who are willing to let machines have their way with them social media unwilling to vet suspicious – no one suspects no ones sceptical – posts and articles

Dont want to work that hard?

machines and those behind them and those who benefit from users ignorance are going to have their way

hear Whore

             ought to take a goodlook in a mirror or a reflective business windowpane

thoughtfulnessmindfulness put spurs to him  always have

                                                                 thats how he arrived fresh from the womb

though he couldnt begin to say how cautiously he moved in life

                                                                   deliberately small taste by small taste

his younger brother and sister rode twowheelers before he did

learned to swim before he did

    he had reason

                     was badgeredharassed for being lefthanded made him hesitant   made him stutter 

righties have no clue

theyre status quo

he didnt have scissors not school desks not baseball gloves  not shit

                                                                           he had to learn to be ambidextrous

had 66 cousins

was the only lefthander

not one of his fourteen aunts and uncles  not one of this huge extended family

                                                                                       easily was one of a hunred

 

his grandmother tied his hand closed when his Mom left him with her

she returned earlier than expected one day and hailed Hell on her mother

teachers

           were disgusted  unforgiving

did their damnedest to flip him

                                   forgetting

they couldnt flip a brain

but when he finally caughtup  became unbound

                                                      his stuttering ceased he became confident

and encouraged he learned how to ride learned how to swim 

in a new school they moved  WENT   CRAZY

                                                   yet

his thoughtfulness mindfulness remained intact

he learned there were a thousand or more phoneapps computer sites promoting it

                                                                                       his daughter told him

she admitted she had several

needed them to remind her

    his heart ached

wondered if he hadnt let her down

how something so ingrained in him didnt present to her

                                                           he taught by actions  not words

    he apologised

Don’t. I saw. I did.  Was so effortless for you.

                                                 Always work for me. You’re lucky, Dad.

Run with it.

Bermans Holding the Line

                             picked it up  sat with the backgammon game 

he knew crappers move if crapper were smart  he knew crappers throw after the doubles would expose him and on his turn hed pick up the blot place it on the bar and itd languish there for several turns

                                                                                        he was uncanny when it came to tossing dice  on too many occasions hes called beforehand what he would throw
