hangman's scaffold
neurodivergent people can
be tall, thin, brilliant, O
and work a pair C
of fuck-me D
heels
so
very
well
that normative thinkers
forget that we can't actually
deal with breaks in the patterns.
I’m in the audience cheering this time.

I appreciate the effort, Gentle. You still have several hours to rectify the word-count disarray. You are way over the 50-word limit.
Looking forward to your adjustment.

CONGRATULATIONS to the winner, Betty, for Hangman's Scaffold. Well done, Wallyroo, for chalking up a close 2nd place with Rainbows. Thanks to all participants for making this so diverse in creative thought.
Big thank you to our judges, Ahavati, lepperochan, and MadameLavender. Let's do another interesting one sometime soon again.
