So I try to stay in the house, but sometimes I have to go out.
The pharmacy was busy yesterday, and the queue to drop off prescriptions was shambolic.
I accidentally stepped in front of someone who had been there longer. Instead of quietly explaining the situation, he loudly asked,
"Are you Retarded?"
Here's the sad thing:
People have asked/screamed this very question at me for so long that I have a prepared response.
I summon up my courage.
I prepare an icy tone.
I reply.
"I see no evidence to the contrary."
Thankfully, this leads to silence. Mostly.
I'm exhausted from decades of this.
**************
I've fallen through the societal cracks in many ways.
Once a person has fallen through the cracks, society examines the person.
The cracks are growing.
The examination of the "fallen people" deepens.
Why is everyone ignoring the cracks?
