The People Behind My Eyes

I can fillet a salmon in one slice, flip it over and do the same thing
but I can’t quarter a chicken.

I can taste the difference between Maxwell House coffee and Folgers
but I can’t taste the difference between imitation vanilla extract and real vanilla extract.

I can feel a slight difference in the weight of a given object
but I have no sense of time or direction. I can tell time but it means nothing to me.

I can tell if something is too hot or too cold
but I can’t tell the difference between damp and soft.

I can detect an accent and usually name the country correctly
but I can’t hear vowel sounds in English, my native tongue.

I can:
Make something out of nothing.
See masterpiece paintings in the clouds.

I can’t:
Draw a straight line.
Wait patiently at a doctor’s appointment.

I do:
Think about food most of the day.
Love the colour red
Wear some shade of green daily.

I don’t:
Eat crazy stuff like brains or intestines, dogs, pickled gerbles and crazy crap like that.
Wear the colour yellow
Wear black pants.
