the left hand

your left
hand is your favorite
hand.
so often
unchosen throughout
the day.
an under used
hand, the fingers
hardly
used
to open a jar,
or can. it
hardly ever waves,
or shakes
another hand.
it's not as strong
as the right one,
but still
able, and
quietly ready,
if called
upon.
you like that
in a hand.
