Triangle of Torment (Asperger's Syndrome meets Stroke and NHS)

STROKE

 

 

Mad falsehoods fill the fallen hero's head

as ghosts advance apace at reason's yield.

They trample 'cross his muddied neurone map

where synapse-stumps bestalk a battlefield.

 

Born into life's affray, scarce half equipped,

his strategies too few for victory;

with elegant redoubt of mind's finesse;

Babel at bay, he shunned cacophony.

 

But now comes ignominious collapse;

high-minded architecture - undermined.

He terms himself "The Spider in the Bath".

Each morning he, himself, will surely find.

 

Thus must he wait - stripped of autonomy

Till slowing time-tick strokes the bugger free.
