Poem

I recently watched a terrible YouTube video about autism by someone who called himself a professional. So I wrote the poem below:

Understand This

I would rather talk to a dog

or disclose to a frog

or confide in a chicken

or divulge to a budgie

or relate to a snake

or reveal to an eel

or tell a gerbil how I really feel

than seek understanding

from someone

who believes

that autistic people

are less human than they are.
