it's impossible
Abstract
In this poem, I try to bring the poetic body closer to my physical body. To do this, I try to give to the verses an aesthetic form that dialogues with conditions that are part of me, such as autism, depression, anxiety, asthmatic bronchitis, respiratory allergies, deviated septum, astigmatism, myopia, lordosis, scoliosis. In short, I found a way to express the experience of my body in the world through some crooked and fragmented stanzas, with a short and broken rhythm, with patterns of repetition and rupture, with echolalia, with obsessive lists, and other characteristics.
Keywords: Poetry, Body, Autism
