I don’t want to be accommodated

A poem to challenge your assumptions

I do not
want to be
part of a space
where I have to be
accommodated.

I want to be
part of a space
where who I am
isn’t automatically
associated with less value —
there isn’t anything
to be accommodated.

What are you defining
as your default?
as your normal?
as your majority?

Lucy (The Egg Girl) is burnt out from hearing people tell her that they’ve already done so much to accommodate people like her. She is asking to be treated just the same and not as lesser of value. She’s asking to be treated like a human being. Will she be? Stay tuned to find out.
