Neurodivergence has Worked for Us

he had to have routines
I saw no value in that
He brought over his car
I danced on the hood, thought I was all that.

We had different ideas
He felt people were a challenge of course.
I was friends with the entire town,
knew the names of their dogs, rabbits and horse.

we were ill-suited everyone said.
Opposites, but neither of us especially well-bred.
That was fifty-eight years ago and we are still together.
Neurodivergence has worked for us in all kinds of weather.
