Gestures

As an
aUtist,

I know
What
It means
To have
People

Take your
U, flip it
Upside-
Down,

Cut half
Of your
Circadian
Move-
Ments Off,

To call
you an
aRtist.

—-

Our
moves

Mean
Much
More

Than
Works
Purchased

By Chance.

—-

Behind
The
Register,

I do not
Know
What my
Embody

Means
Now.

—-

Allegedly
Normal
Rhymes

Robbed
Diversity
From me,

Extracting
Crooked
Baby Teeth

From my
Unsightly
Bited jaw.

—-

How
Do I
Chew
Up

My
Life

Now?

—-

In this
Neuro-
Typed
World,

Too many
Are Lost

Between
See-meant
Cracks.

—-

We do
Not
Escape

Without
Road rash.

—-

We cry
Tears

For
Our

Own
Lives,
Lost.

—-

Too
Many

Silently
Grieve

Our own

Deaths.

—-

We, the

Un-A-
Ccounted

of
Narrow
Criteria.
