for Hans Asperger


he watches the children
silently, patiently, intently
observes their behaviours and interactions
pays attention to their communication and play

making notes about his experiences
these kids differ from others
in subtle but important ways
thoughts churn in his mind
he knows he is onto something new

in a world of their own
alone and aloof
detached from the world
still a part of society
