On the one hand:
My back is a board breaking in two
My ankle tips my foot over
My knee buckles my step
Forgotten appointments pass me by like indifferent strangers
Someone said, "Stiff upper lip"--I heard, "Jack the ripper"
"The" becomes "teh" when I type
I learn how to delete a file on my computer--next time, I learn all over again
On the other hand:
Every day for half an hour I become a vigorous fish
While driving a freeway at night, I see a cat's eyes
When I read, I spot every typo
In native French writing, I catch misspellings
In someone's logic, I find holes
I conduct a group like an orchestra, with no score
When making love, I am an athlete
