a stanza...

 ...by Siegfried Sassoon. -From whom I still care deeply about, thusly:

What share we most—we two together?

Smells, and awareness of the weather.

What is it that makes us more than dust?

My trust in h[er]; in me, h[er] trust.  [-sorry Sassoon. Jpt]

Cassandra Syndrome

I'm pretty sure I have the Asperger's Syndrome. I seem to be able to follow instructions well enough to perform the required tasks at a high degree of performance. Mathematics, linguistics, art, I can do as demanded.

But I seem to have a hard time engaging with people at the personal level. People, to me, are avatars (fictional characters) that I cannot take seriously unless I know them personally.
