Disparity screams

I: A scientist is someone who endlessly studies the facts, the "why" and "how".

II: An artist is someone who translates their world for others to experience.

III: Both often experience infinite curiosity.

IV: Sometimes one is both a scientist and an artist.

V: Forever searching out the "why"s, and blending their mind to create something others will understand.

VI: Most just want to be seen and understood, as this artist does.

VII: Enter the world and mind of a transmasc nonhuman living in a human body.

VIII: Please understand that all found herein is subject to interpretation.

IX: May your world be the richer for peering through these strange and intense glasses.

The extreme disparity displayed

this Wednesday, the sixth,

and that Tuesday, the twenty-sixth;

maddening, stirring an anger

already steadily simmering.

The contrast, the brutality used

when people spoke up,

versus the extreme compliance

when others try to start a war.

It hurts to breathe, I’m scared.

The differences in treatment

only show in undeniable relief

the issues with this country

since the colonization.

A Flittering Flame
