"Follow My Fingers with Your Eyes"

Sep 2, 2013 | Occupational Therapy

This is a lovely poem by Adam Possner that came in my daily Writer’s Almanac from NPR. It refers to a person who has had a stroke. Repetitive in a poignant way. Somewhat desperate.

Here is a short excerpt:
Follow my fingers with your eyes

Index and middle, side by side
To and fro, watch them fly
Follow my fingers with your eyes”
