Spastic

Let's workshop this poem about artists self-censoring so as not to offend people--well, at least people from groups it is fashionable to consider "worthy of protection"

Spastic 

Posting “Here 
to grow,” she cut
the “ableist slur”
(not used as one)
from her club hit—

the mob okay 
for now 
with the penis-chop
threat; the anti-blind
“You see this shit!?”;

the “fucks”; 
the capitalistic 
“We CEOs!”; 
the armless-brutalizing
“Throw dem bows!”
