Poem Contains text information about individual contributors to the anthology. Text Any textual data included in the document I am not so different than you I don’t feel the same way you do, I don’t act the same way you do. I don’t touch I don’t talk I don’t listen The same way you do. But I am not so different. Sure I might Ask questions Searching, wondering Why why why I don’t understand these things The same as you I ask my friends “Why do you kiss?” They give me incomplete, unfulfilling answers I ask my father “What’s the difference Between the different kinds of love?” He says they aren’t so different after all After I bug him for a month about it But then why Why Is one so revered above the other “What’s so bad about not feeling these things Or Feeling these things Differently?” I ask and I ask and I ask Do I get answers? No Does everyone get infuriated by my Incessant wondering? Probably But to be able to ask the questions To be able to wonder why. This is what connects us all This is why we grow and change and Shape the world in our footsteps. I don’t talk like you I don’t walk Or speak or touch or feel or act Like you But I am not so different. I’m not so different then you, After all. We’re still built of the same things Flesh and bones, Water and blood Cells, molecules, atoms, quarks, Magic, stars, dust and the world and Time! We are of the same Recipe, Cooked at different times, different Quality of ingredients Alkalized and non-alkalized cocoa Baked at different temperatures 350, 325 Barely noticeable. And doesn’t that scare you? Doesn’t That Scare You. <div style="text-align:right;"> — <a href="https://waqueeranth.omeka.net/items/show/100">Asher F, he/him</a></div> Content Warnings Warnings about any potentially harmful or triggering content present in the text. lack of acceptance Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Asher F is a high schooler, and a poet who hopes to show people the beauty in the world, while keeping his writing soulful and honest to the world we live in.
