Individuality ≠ Inconvenience

You as you. Still needed. I checked.

Individuality ≠ Inconvenience

The danger of that one-size-fits-all template

hides beneath its bleed over

to other interactions and constructs

never inert

A camouflage beneath consciousness

speeds quiet contagion

altering perception imperceptibly

An anomaly engenders isolation

Be the student/parent/staff member/representative

comfortably adorned inside academic structure

employment policy

evidence-based research guidance

political bottom lines

People condition well

Shrink and squeeze themselves

too mortified to spill over edges

Or seem infantile in garments

that swallow anatomy

Outer rims of Venn Diagram

showcase views of untamed unknowns

blissfully content from time-genesis

to exist without coordinates plotted on a grid

and not once

considered making humanity an amalgam sacrilege

conformist and containable as yuck

Creation itself a majestic continuum

of measureless defiance

Well I'm sure glad you made it through this one and are still the one-and-only you.

Thank you for being amazing where I can see!
