two keys on my laptop
the troublesome @
and the much used "
decided to switch places
After a few days
and a lot of cursing
my left middle finger
reached for the 2/@ key
to open and close quotes
and my right pinkie
reached for the '/" key
when typing an email address
And now
the troublesome @
and the much used "
have gone back to their
designated places
allowing me to type
exactly what's stamped on the
tiny grey keys
All of yesterday and the day before
I opened and closed quotes with an @
and typed quotation marks in
my emails
Today
everything is back to normal
I don't have to think twice before reaching for a
key
I don't find myself muttering expletives
or having to retype anything
How easily things change
and then go back to the way they were
our brains rewiring and adapting
over and over again
