ART/ASTIGMATISM — OR BLACKBALL?

​Apparently nearly all of us are a wee bit astigmatic. My astigmatism has never been surgically corrected, though my contact lenses are a partial fix. I’ve just worked out — I think! — that an astigmatic angle is part of what I’ve always tried to do with my writing and more lately have been trying to do my photography.
     All my life I’ve seen the world slightly skewwiff. Astigmatics send photons from the world into their cerebral cortex, just like anastigmatics, but differently. At least if I understand the science. The photons picked up by the eyes and sent to the cortex are ‘flawed.’ Afterwards, as the cerebral cortex works its socks off trying to make meaningful pattern out of constantly shifting hazy tessellations, doing its best to shape photons into something useful, adaptive, something that can be used to negotiate 'reality,' the socks are getting interestingly yet potentially wrongly among us astigmatics.
     Going from seeing to writing: might astigmatism have some relevance not only to the way us astigmatics see and shape the world but also the way we write the world? And might that not lead us on to lots of promising ideas what this means about astigmatics’ writing? Or, to go from the wide to the narrow, about my writing? And does it mean I need to move further away from an anastigmatic way of writing?
     Should I try to refine astigmaticography?
     And let me also deal the cackhanded card out on top of the astigmatic joker. Or dud. I think about this quite a lot because I clip my fingernails and struggle with scissors and throw balls — and write my words — cackhanded. Or lefthanded, if you like that word.
     A lot of cackhanded types think we look at the world differently from the ‘right’ handed. I kind of think so too.
     So my writing is astigmatic cackhanded writing. I think! Which is all to our common good because writing voices are perhaps a bell curve: do most of us when we write tend to converge around an anastigmatic righthand way of writing? A way of writing which is the dominant way, at least nowadays. I think we need that good strong centre of anastigmatic righthandness. At the same time I think we must also need a few wacko writers going in for wordplay out on the flattening flanges of the bell curve.
     One flange, maybe, consists of what we might call very lateral / intuitive / open / provisional / surreal / astigmatic / cackhanded / risk taking writing.
     One other flange could perhaps be very linear / logical / cellular / fixed/ ‘real’ / anastigmatic / righthanded / safety seeking writing.
     Or is this all nonsense, a needlessly roundabout roundelay of overlong metaphors, when what I mean is no more than that my very first spoken and written words came out of my mouth and fingertips while I was living as a little boy in a township which could stand, I reckon, as a weirdly working definition of the astigmatic cackhanded?
     Blackball!
