Dear Humanity,
The lips she used to kiss
Her same sex lover with,
And the binary she dismissed
Made them all loose their mind

Psychotic (adjective); crazy, mental, reckless,
Out of control, violent, strange, scary-
You throw around the word psychotic as if it won't hurt
Magnificence was not something I questioned as I child
Certain People deserved to be heard
They laugh and play
and run around and say "That's retarded,"
overheard by the mother at the grocery store who wanted nothing more
than the best for her son who was born with his disability.
Ableism,
Dreams of days that have not been,
Maybe someday, known not when.
If the future, dreams foretell,
To the present, fare thee well.
For days in progress, fondness lacks,
Closing doors behind our backs.
