Friends Make So Much Difference

 


Having friends is definitely really joyful.  I enjoy seeing friends.  I never thought I would have so many.  Starting in real spelling has made me able to live with no regrets.  

I try to imagine someone starting spelling and imagine real communication for the first speller.  To speak my thoughts is my main goal every day.  I must try so hard to imagine spelling real words if I am able to move my hand to letters.  It makes me tired but exhilarated to communicate.  

Just saying hi to a friend is caring for them.  I am looking forward to fun times next year with friends.  I like to paint, and I paint in a lot of colors that remind me of my beautiful friends.  I am happy to live in a time when I unwind stereotypes about autistics.

Pantoum: "Google Maps" by Aiden Levy

 



The quiet storefronts almost upset me

Buried relics of the past

Dinosaurs among Amazon’s kingdom

We verify their existence on Google Maps


Buried relics of the past

Now memorialized forever —

they still exist in Google Maps —

moments frozen in the past


Now memorialized forever,

life always advances around

moments frozen in the past,

and the quiet storefronts almost upset me
