Poem


Pythonerger’s

he says he’s on the spectrum
free to choose his own
snake prefix     “Let him!”
his mother says to him
though it’s me she means
sitting across from them

“A syndrome," she begins
"is just a list of symptoms --
one of which is brilliance!”
he stares ahead as she says this
unstimulated, powered-down
a mother's pride in profile
