Special Ed. P.E.

In the midst of a room
full of loud laughing children
doing the Hokey Pokey

stood one boy
who will always stand alone.

Most think he is disturbed,
but I know that I am too much like him,
and it is only our lack
of enthusiasm
for this life
that separates us

from the people
who don't know any different.
