Every second
You are touching something
Air
Dust
Carpet
Fabric
But when you are an Aspie
It's painful to touch
Certain things
You want to curl up and cry
Because it's too unbearable to
Touch
iPad screen
Library book
Lap throw
Dog fur
You want to pet your dog
But his fur does not agree
With your touch receptors
You grit your teeth
And touch him though it's
Difficult
Peanut butter
Cream cheese
Raw meat
Melted butter
You wish you could press
Your fingers against it
Feel its texture
Without instantly wanting to
Recoil
