Ian Gibbins<\/h1>\n

Why Mice Cannot Type<\/span><\/h2>\n

Read my palms, the gritty creases, calluses,
\n<\/span>the life-line I barely can see, the crystal ball
\n<\/span>I hold between my finger-tips, penetrant
\n<\/span>as X-rays through my hopelessly unyielding
\n<\/span>ligaments, the inevitable crippling subluxation
\n<\/span>of my knuckles flexed, extended, grasping for
\n<\/span>a future I cannot imagine, a past I cannot recall,
\n<\/span>a feeling for time and place, for stories I will
\n<\/span>never experience, I will never put into words.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
