[Critique Group 2] seriously corrected!

Hey, all,
 
The previous version is what happens when one has a weak auditory learning
style and doesn't Braille the poem first! Sorry! I just added the missing
line, so it now reads:
 
 
 
Le Changement D'Agitation: An Acrostic
 
 
Like irregular verbs, whose rules elude my brain . . .
Electroplasticity, nonexistent at this time--
 
Cherished routine, upended-does anyone care? Notorious
Hater of learning curves, especially those I did not choose:
Anchor myself in faith, and tangibility of
Numbing motion and fixation: safety in parameters known.
Guileless with a pace too fast, and decreased sense of agency . . .
Excruciatingly aware of difference unacknowledged, save by me and those who
know my heart.
Marking off days of progress small and slow, my
Exhaustion reigns-subjugating citadels
Normally inhabited, when outside forces threatened:
Tracing steps from my uncensored years.
Driven beyond baseline behaviors,
All reserve forthwith abandoned:
Giving no heed to would-be watchers,
I accept the breaking down, not yet noting reconstruction.
Tears flow, absent, intrusive gatekeepers:
Ambulating Halls of polished, dark-hued  wood, I
Train weary eyes on love's advancing censer,
Inextinguishable . . . inviolable . . . my final answer.
Only this must be my guide:
Narrow and far, the  path toward rest and life.
 
 
 
Sandra
