Social Distancing
Got a room
At the top of the world
Below is empty desperation
As rumours go around
About the end of everything
Life in lockdown
New buzz word
Social distancing
Extreme habit changing
Welcome to autism
All this fuss
Is what I’ve practiced
Throughout the years
No change for me
Snowflakes all in a panic
Love this quiet
Gives my brain
Time to breathe
Temporary for you
This loss of being
The echo
Has no explanation
It’s the constant
That’s run through
My existence
At the top of the world
Below is empty desperation
As rumours go around
About the end of everything
Life in lockdown
New buzz word
Social distancing
Extreme habit changing

I like your work. Grew up with this. And have only recently in my mid forties been able to overcome it.

What a unique perspective, AP! I love how you highlight the unchanged aspect. It's like giving us a glimpse into your world via experience through this unfortunate occurrence.
