Boy in a Wheelchair Listening to Radiohead In A London Subway Station
"How to Disappear Completely"
Beyond the beauty of the external
He is moving his mouth in a strange way
(Girl watches him from the side of her eyes,
She is the "paranoid android"
Stupidly afraid.)
Even still he is waving his arms as if
The entire world was his universe, spinning waves
Breaking rhythms as if they were storms
His head leaning weirdly but should he care?
(She sighs, and thinks
“Creep.”)
Breathing in the music as the noise of the train
Rushes in, he smiles like a new born alien;
A "subterranean homesick alien"
(And she wonders, why does his eyes
Roll up inside his head
Like that?)
Gone in a wild spin the world does not see him,
It does not see the Picasso constellation that is his womb;
Those wheels beneath him are just his legs.
Perhaps he can see the colours we were meant to hear...
(And just like that, sparks fly from the girls
Eyes, and she smiles, but still
Looks away.)
"I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here..."
