disabled makes me think of
shutting off a machine -
it's powerless,
dead in the water,
no juice getting to it -

render it out of commission,
take away
its power source
is that what's happening to me?
Erik Tate is a huge fan of Allen Ginsberg and the Beat Generation poets and writers. He enjoys abstract photography, reading about quantum physics, gardening, and playing chess.
