To Ernie et al who have trouble writing:
Parkinson's Hellness or Forget Dexterity

We're helpless in this hellness:
frustrated fingers, nearly useless,
struggling to sign a signature
or address an envelope,
or shuffle cards,
fasten buttons,
put arms in a long-sleeved shirt,
or take it off,
fish for a wallet -
limp, ineffectual hands
in pocket or purse
impatient
check-out clerk
watching,
return bills
to wallet,
neatly.
