The Ventriloquist
I’m calling bullshit
on his autism spectrum
billboard monologue.
It’s a bunch of millennial
claptrap, probably dished
out by some post grad
chardonnay quaffing Instagram
queen from behind her ergonomically
designed Scandinavian desk,
with one eye on the clock and
the other on her notifications.
That neuro diversity hokum gets
hurled around these days
like a fistful of M&M’s
at a 5 year old’s birthday party.
It’s nothing more than a
tutorial on how to wipe the slate;
a license to shit in the street.
