I call upon you, my fellow Aspies,
to awake, and enlighten the human world
to the long-buried truth of Asperger's Syndrome
so that people can learn some new angles on life,
including the doctrines of substance over style.
As you sit in the dark womb
of a flickering planetarium,
call your true self into being.
Let the Orion constellation guide you
on the search through a wilderness
where you dodge ironclad bigots
and solve the hieroglyphics
of everyday communication.
Stay on the search
and you will find those who appreciate
the Aspergian magic you weave
when you take them on a cruise
in the life-like waters of a 3-D picture,
or cut Christmas cookie dough into Kwanzaa shapes,
or re-invent the automobile
to free us from the expensive tyranny of petroleum.
But whatever you do, be assured
that Aspergian tutelage will guide you
into the rebirth of day.
