Mono-focus

My greatest strength,
And my Achilles heel,
The ability to mono-focus.
Oblivious when on a beloved task,
To be interrupted is like a slap.
Today we were in a deeply emotional discussion.
I felt stomach churning angst,
As I laid my soul bare.
Then he said,
"Ok I'm going to take a shower"
Just like that.
It was not "OK!"
I realised,
Aspie mono-focus,
versus,
Neurotypical multi-focus,
This is where our differences,
Are at their most profound.
