Replying to a comment on:
Superman VS. The Stairs (Free verse) by TanHand
Asswagons east in a line
Asswagons into the setting sun
Asswagons having children
Asswagons playing the Oregon Trail
Oh baby / darling
I'll never be your beast of burden
As long as you remember to plug me in at night
Oh sugar / child
Just wheel me out into the garden
Walk in the rosebushes, I can fly a kite
I am ashamed
That it isn't my fault
Though tethered to the heavy ground
Tethered with wheels
I'm even more tethered to this love we've found
And through marriage sealed
I am ashamed
To make you bend down
You needn't handle my joystick
I can move it around just fine
And you won't need to build me a ramp
Uncle Sam will do that
You needn't show me to your friends
I can stay at home if you like
And you needn't ever pretend
That you're not embarrassed
Because you are
I would be
I can't see
The faces of the tall
And though I'm a cripple
I've got my very own stall
A grand toilet, a throne of disability
I look forward to my kingly shits
I dearly love my kingdom
Of urine and grab bars
What kind of man is this
He who so treasures his piss
Don't you normals dare use it:
It was made for disabled shit
I love the way that the light catches your stomach
When you wear fuzzy sweaters
I love the tender way you change my socks
And frankly it amazes me
That you couldn't have done better
I am ashamed
To be an asswagon
Nothing more
Than a wagon of ass
Une charette avec deriere
A war hero
A rolling cripple
Shame on wheels
