Asperger

an island full of shapes
patterns of bricks and numbers,
the thin voice of a bird

lost on a strange planet,
faces that bend under order,
nothing in line or perfect

watch your own dancing hands,
listen to the broken words,
you are deep in your own sense

till the world implodes,
a puzzle flying,a chair defeated,
a broken window full of stars

Asperger, a blessing and a curse. Varies greatly in its degrees of intensity. In it life is a cereal bowl that is never full enough, large enough, round enough, sound enough, sweet enough . A fine write.....

gosh, I wish I understood this condition better because I have a friend who says her son has it, and he seems so normal to me, but I guess sometimes it is not that noticeable like it is with the kid on the tv series Brothers and Sisters who portrays this condition so well. It's a form of autism? I really loved the line "thin voice of a bird." Great images
