So once there was this van
My parents bought it because they were desperate
For something, my wheelchair would fit in
Little did they know
They were sold a cardboard box on wheels
If it decided to stop in the middle of a busy road
So be it, some tales won’t be believed when they are told
From pieces falling out of nothing
To play the wheelchair maze against a running car

This is a striking and deeply personal piece.
What stands out is the way you blend raw reality with a touch of dark humor—the “cardboard box on wheels” image is vivid and memorable, but it also carries the weight of vulnerability and frustration. The stakes feel real, especially with the presence of the wheelchair, which adds urgency and emotional depth to every moment described.
