Small Enough
Children remain miraculous anyway.
They keep laughing loudly.
Keep collecting rocks in pockets.
Keep drawing suns too large for the page.
Keep trusting love
despite everything adults place upon them.
They asked disability justice
Ableism
has always tried
to turn disability itself
into the problem.
As though the injustice
is the wheelchair
instead of the stairs.
The autistic child
instead of the cruelty.
The chronically ill body
instead of the systems
that abandon it.
