People born “normal”, non-disabled
With average looking bodies frequently
Catch sight of our curious bodies.
Our bodies changed into uncommon forms.
Created from disability or illness,
And forced to use strange looking
Wheelchairs and walking devices.
All causes “normal people” to stop
And wonder what their bodies
Have in common with our      
Curious bodies.
