Dilemmas

I know I’m ill-advised using my right hand for 

typing - I have sustained a tendon tear at the 

shoulder point where upward arm movement 

is an agony, yet immobilising the whole thing 

with ‘three point’ sling seems grossly overkill; 

so verily for me who considers himself skilled 

in a ten-finger typing art - what I have still yet 

to internalise is finger movements are key to

Residual pain that just cannot lessen until the 

muscular connections are totally rested; gosh

it means I’ll need to use dictation, and there’s 

the irony - my brain is keyed to a slower pace 

of creating words letter by letter; enabling the 

mental enunciations suggest combinations to

me which could fit a rhyme & rhythm context 

better, or even a syntax while we’re engaged 

in creation of poetic metre; & so, woe is me - 

I’ve no show of doing that all mentally when I 

am dictating ‘streams’ of words articulately to 

an auto-type program - or even revising ‘em 

On rereading & seeing that’s vapid crap
