When other people type,

their fingers dip and dart

like swallows at dusk.

 

When I type, 

my fingers ooze

like sluggish snails.

 

When other people type,

their words are a thundering river,

a relentless tide.

 

When I type, 

my words are a leaking roof,

slowly dripping

one

   letter

        at 

            a

              time.

I type very slowly, and I wrote this when I was frustrated after taking a typing lesson that I hated.
