Individuality ≠ Inconvenience
You as you. Still needed. I checked.
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!
