How to socially bond, with people you truly like,
But have so little in common with?
Forget the ASD.
I do 'talk the talk'.
I mean 'practise reciprocity',
And I mostly control my urge to talk incessantly about....
Well things I'm interested in.
But...
Then where is the sincerity?
I do not live as my friends do.
I don't even have a telly,
I write poetry and songs,
And love string.
I sense the discomfort they feel.
They see someone before them who is friendly,
But who does not play the game of inclusivity.
I don't know anything about 'fit bits' or 'Game of Thrones', or 'Candy Crush'.
I cook mainly organic food from scratch.
I can see that they feel judged by me.
As if my nonconformity is taking a moral,
Or worse 'pseudo intellectual' high ground.
It is very perplexing.
