Oh My Dog, Another Yesterday May 23rd 2020 Spent Inside
Oh my dog, another yesterday (May 23rd, 2020) spent inside
Anomalous earthling inhabited
mancave quarantined
cocooned gamesomely
knowingly protected travesty

thwarting, zapping

Matthew Scott Harris) still

iterated above) outward adult.
He considers metamorphosis

early during carefree preschool
boyhood heavenly bliss
short lived spunky spontaneity
squelched after first grade
February 28th, 1968 marked
turning point pronouncing
significant psychological
cleavage figuratively pitched
emotional, mental, and
spiritual withdrawal symptomatic

appellation - chiefly in Jewish
use) eligible recipient
to receive early onset supportive
services, which initial diagnosis
undertaken within her
first birthday, thus staunching
immense struggles later.
Supportive services incorporated
battery audiological, cognitive,
emotive... tests to help pinpoint diagnosis.
She underwent cost free
(needs based) therapy - most
times resistant and noncooperative
(nonresponsive) to
engage whole heartedly,

enabling, and providing laudable
transformations, whereby

making major decisions),
