A Non-Savant
There is not much help left. My parents feel bereft. All I am is a child that has sacrificed- My moments of childhood happiness, hoping my obedience will suffice.

Joey the Savant
The multiverse Of his unquiet mind Screaming for all of us To be quiet He needs to put on A space suit Assimilating our nuances So he can Walk on the surface Of our emotions An alien being Trying to find a way To fit in Not attracting attention To his brilliance Of communicating In a sensory way Logically disertating A higher plane To be one In this...

Does “it” see colors when they build...
