D.IS.ABILITY

POETRY BY: JOSEPH MAXWELL SPENCER

---

They say I am blind

That I cannot see anything

Yet I say,

I see darkness

******

They say I am deaf

That I cannot hear anything

Yet I say,

I hear silence

******

They say I am dumb

That I cannot say anything

Yet I say,

I converse in sign-language

******

They say I am nose-disorder

That I cannot smell anything

Yet I say,

I smell airing

******

They say I am crippled

That I cannot walk anywhere

Yet I say,

I walk on wheels

******

They say I am dyslexic

That I cannot read and write

Yet I say,

I excels high skills in lateral thinking

******

They say I am autistic

That my social life is quirky

Yet I say,

My brain is a repository for certain strengths

******

They say we are disabled

That we cannot do everything

Yet we say,

Disability is not a disorder

Humans are divergent

D is for Divergent

D is Ability
