Talking is hard sometimes.
I want to, I really do.
But the words are tied to a string weighed down deep in my stomach by rocks
and one very scary dragon

Spaces
To live is to endure small spaces
There’s no room to grow in this fishbowl
Full of sharks
When they go belly up, I will turn this pond
Into my own little ocean

Rammed Fist
spirraling
downwards
abyss awaiting
old dark friend
whisper poison
rejoin the conversation
paranoia never far away
persecution stabs deeper
insignificant ant scurry along
we are killers incorporated
ants our specialty
causing mayhem
in your once peaceful mind
feel wires burning
circuit board melting
thought process tangled mess
up all night overthinking
each scenario builds darker walls
imprisoning light
fist rammed down throat
muffling coming screams ...

UHO
It’s an X file
An unexplained phenomenon
Unidentified human object
Alien first contact
Proof there is intelligent life
Bring in Alan Turing
Autistic code breaker
To decipher the neurotypical enigma
So many random settings
The simplest message is scrambled

The Ballad Of No-Man Pam
Let me start by saying
I liked her.
It was as simple as that.
There were billions of people in the world,
and I liked maybe five,
but she was one—
complex and undignified,
farted with meaning in her beat-up car,
as the fog rolled in
and you were never entirely sure
where menthol vape met air biscuit.
We swam once a week together,
poured ourselves into awkward Lycra
and willed each other towards water.
Shy of babysitters, her...

Get Help
I am not a bitch
I am not a mutt
You wear a muzzle
So I’ll shut the fuck up
Stop making me
Jump through more hoops
Gonna chase you down
Like a chicken coop
Snapping at their necks
Walking on eggshells
The embryo’s expensive
Why you gotta upsell?
Done with all these prices
Done with all these stores
Done with all the business
Trying to close all the doors
I knock but you don’t answer
So you send me to your neighbor
Funny, they told me the same thing
But...

When the speakers turn up to 10,
It sounds like they’re turned up to 20
The way you talk, the way you get excited about things
Makes me want to kill myself
If I so much as make one judgement,
I may as well have made a death wish

Aches
A hard day’s work is shown in the hands
A hard day of activity is felt in the muscles
The radio, the tv, and whoever’s talking
Cram themselves into my brain,
going down my spine
My skin is violated by constant tapping
Each one, a jump scare
A flash in the pan
I recover from my wounds
The way a monk finds enlightenment:
In silence and solitude
A hard day of activity is felt in the muscles

Cram themselves into my brain,
going down my spine
My skin is violated by constant tapping
Each one, a jump scare
A flash in the pan

The way a monk finds enlightenment:
In silence and solitude

Last Night on Revolution Road
Last night she came home with tears in her eyes
The years she spent coaching him came to an end
The little boy she aided through many challenges
Is growing up and in the future hopes to be a friend
She does the work with kindness in her heart
Giving them the tools so they can succeed in life
These children learn and develop new social skills
So that later on they can have productive lives
For all the days of frustrations there were also triumphs
It was a step forward toward an objective and common goal

Five Thoughts
Where Light Dies
Frequency of darkness
Tuned in to anger
Vicious vibrations
Reaching out for destruction
This is where light dies
Out Of The Box
The concept of autism
There’s no box
That can hold its diversity
New Town Leper
Don’t come near me
Can’t you hear the bell
I’m autistic don’t touch
I am contagious
The new town leper
Not Dying Today
Not dying today
One more breath
One more heartbeat
One more step
The little things...
