Left

Always turning left when told to head straight. Always turning left when told to go right. Always turning left in every area of life. Even the body follows that command, go left, go left. Unusual. Uncommon. Atypical. Natural or imposed, against impulse. Always left. The hand that writes, the leg that leads. An alien landscape for so many.
