Being disabled is to be always living in a peripheral state…

Cover of Planet of the Blind....man and dog....

Being disabled is to be always living in a peripheral state. Those who don’t experience this don’t know how unfair and unstable crippled life really is. In order to mask this the non-disabled say that access is coming “tomorrow.”

So I sing “tomorrow tomorrow the accommodations will come out tomorrow” and wait for Daddy Ableist Warbucks to come.

If you’re a disabled person you know the drill.
