Aspies For Freedom

Here we go again.  I might have to change the title; right now it sounds like a blood-sucking arachnid.

Tick

                Tick goes the clock.
        Say what you’ve said.
Plop goes the rain on the roof overhead.

                Spinning your wheels.
        Missing the proof.
Easy to slip up above on the roof.

                Living the dream.
        Push comes to shove.
Fall with a crash from your place up above.

                Cracks in the mirror.
        Lies to your face.
What’s more important than knowing your place?

                Feet off the ground.
        Roots yet to bind.
Fast disappearing no mark left to find.

                Lighting the fuse.
        Drive back the dark.
Desperately trying to make one last mark.

                Back on the line.
       Fear it might break.
Climbing the ladder a future to make.

Well, I'm back from wandering for about 20 minutes in the middle of a thunderstorm at night.  It seemed... impolite, for nobody to greet it.

Man, if I ever had any doubts about AS being a good thing...

Storms are AWESOME.

I wrote a poem about it.

Hello crash of thunder
Won’t you stay and talk awhile?
Such a voice, so deep and mighty
Never fails to make me smile.

Hello bolt of lightning
Won’t you come and play with me?
Slice your course across the heavens
Let through light so I can see.

Hello smashing torrent
Been a while, how’s it been?
How I’ve missed the splash of water –
Gives the world a wondrous sheen.

Hello thunder shower.
Welcome to my humble home
Thanks for all the strength and wonder
That you give me as you roam.

Here's a relationship one.  I don't do many of those.  It's not based on anything that really happened.  It was imagined as a song more so than most of my stuff is, but it's still more a poem.  I don't have a fixed tune, anyway.

(Theory of) Mindlessness

You think I think
You don’t think that I think;
That’s not quite correct.
Though it’s true that
I probably could use just
A little more respect.

Is that so difficult?

I know you know
I don’t know what you know;
Maybe you should share.
Tell me why’d you
Think your little lies would
Make me think you care?

I’m not an idiot.

You see I see
You can see that I see
What’s around the bend.
If we don’t change
Course in just a moment now
We will reach the end

With a stupendous crash.

I feel you feel
I can’t feel what you feel;
You just might be right.
I can’t seem to
Understand the rules that
Say we have to fight

That’s why I’m leaving now.

incredible....
