I have a savant
As a brother. I’ve seen
Preoccupations with specifics
Grow and survive. I have
A savant as a brother.

I had an alcoholic
As a sister, we’d seen
Alcohol together, without specifics,
Grown-up and contrived. I had
An alcoholic as a sister.

We have savants
As brothers and sisters. I’ve seen
The next page, I think, as as we all have.
We’re grown, and realized. We are
All Human, use it, as savants.
