"Ten years ago, the neurologist cast autism like a giant fishing net over his brain.
Took the entire family under the tide with it.
Never said gift.
Never suggested
maybe my Levi’s words weren’t rusty anchors
like the rest of ours.
They’re jellyfish:
You think you can see right through them,
but it’s because you’re only watching the surface.
His mind is more like the world’s most extravagant circus
all trapeze and lion teeth
drum beat and riotous laughter
Every sentence
a staccato hymn
in the midst of a world
that has forgotten how to value silence."
-Joshua Bennette
