Old Thoughts for a Modern Age: More Poems from an Autistic Poet, Now with Multiple Sclerosis Joy Olree

Life is complicated and unpredictable, I have Asperger's and MS, but I refuse to believe I was born just to live a while then die. I am not the result of a Big Bang, nor did I come from a monkey. I believe, God, created the universe and everything in it, then he created Adam and Eve who were fruitful and multiplied until, well here I am. My new book of poems is the result of my reading and studying the Bible and my personal opinions of human life based on how humans act you don't have to agree with me, you have freewill just like me. Deeply Odd, Assuredly Strange Guess imbecile suits me fine. I am deeply odd, assuredly strange. Rebellion not, surrendered and muted of course. Hey listen up, what do you want from an autistic poet with MS? That's not enough? Well kiss my grits. Bye, I hate grits. Ok so I save a few lives, not. Eat Jello, Eggos and applesauce, Woo woo breakfast is served. I'm still deeply odd, assuredly strange. Strange. See Joy See Joy walk, see joy fall, see Joy blow her whistle. See help come. See ching, ching, Nothing is faster than the speed of light except money and it comes and goes so fast, you never really see it but you know it's there by the stack of bill on the coffee table.
