Peace Disability Poems

Your compassion reveals

more likely an emperor,
but possibly both,
who first explored this sad relationship

feeding repression.

I'll bet it was a Taoist mother

My youngest
of three AfricanAmerican adopted sons
has profound nonwhite
nonstraight
nonverbal cerebral palsy.

Profound

I know what it costs
to parent a tyrant
24/7
52 weeks/year
and yet avoid judging,
feeling guilty,
self-blaming shame

I remember learning curious distinctions

Have You

Ever wondered how it happens?
How the last person stays, 
How they make sure, everyone else gets out?

Ever wonder why?
Is that important?
