He is…a lost and lonely boy


he is a lost lonely boy
who suffers from an autistic heart
the disorder of self-absorption
spinning circles in a cage of wheels
in a past where he clings so inflexible  
to motions that would not set him free
a mouth of useless words in repeat
that drinks alone most nights detached
peering into a distorted mirror of perfection
preoccupied with picking apart flaws
of attachments of any associations
to breath that could set him free
that sadly will leave him forever stuck
by his own design impaired not knowing
the healing tender imagination of touch

I'd pay good money to hear you read this one aloud....

....and even gooder money to hear you read it aloud to a small group I would choose, in the presence of someone I'd also choose....
