My friend says

Michael Hoag

My friend says the left foot is longer than the right.
But uneven feet manage uneven ground
And rocks float
And birds swim
And mowed poppies return every year
My friend says the left calf is more defined than the right,
But my friend moves along
And wind circles still air
And four is less than five
my friend says the right arm is more muscular than the left
But my friend prays with the right
And listens with the right
And thumps me on the head with the right.
My friend says one of the ears (not sure which one) bends out further than the other,
And that is very true
But craters on the moon often come in pairs.
And for every Atlantic there is a pacific
And a sneeze is not a cough
And My friend doesn’t like that ear as it makes the face value look off center.
But face value is something I have never heard of
And I can’t integrate a polynomial.
Or cry for my dead cat
My friend says the left breast is a little smaller than the right,
But I never distinguished
And One dimple is deeper than the other
but only when smiles are deep
And my friend is right
And now I see
All the disparities
I see the blue paper and the red
And the fresh tomatoes and the dried
And dinosaurs painted pink
And confetti streams
And all the different styles of buttons
