Far-Out

What makes a person unique?

Hmmm, I have to think
About that question
For a few minutes.

After a couple of ponderous moments,
I have concluded
It’s all the small things
That make us different.

You see,
Most of us are right handed,
But some of us are left handed,
While a few
Lucky ones
Are ambidextrous.

Then there’s the way we tie our shoes.
Some do the bunny ears
Others, a loopy-loop,
While some don’t even bother
And wear loafers
Or nothing at all.

It’s fascinating, really,
How these choices

Define us.

Pineapple on pizza?
I say yes, please,
Some scream no, thank you!
A simple preference
That divides dinner tables.

It’s these little things,
These little moments,
These little choices,
That outline our stories
Of our unique selves.
