THE NOTICE
by rebelwheelsnyc / michele kaplan
And while it's often disabled who? disabled what?
When it comes to talks of healthcare, talks of rights...
They never fail to notice
when I am out riding in my wheelchair, be it day or night...
They never fail to approach, post-gawking
randomly asking, personal questions – as if they are owed my time
There I am curbside, crosswalk, waiting for the light, when I hear...
“Awe, you're such a pretty girl... what happened?”
I swear every time I hear a random stranger say
“Oh my god, you're in a wheelchair!”
As if this was a revelation
I long to reply “Oh my god, you're wearing pants!” in the same tone
as if we're playing a game called Captain Obvious
all in hopes that if I respond to their absurdity with further absurdity,
that it's jarring just enough, to make them think
How strange it is to be invisible
and yet hyper seen
video description: I am sitting in my motorized wheelchair in my bathroom. You can see a hint of the black headrest behind me but that's about it you can see me kind of from the way stuff I am wearing a pink and red tie-dye dress with a red plaid sleeveless shirt dress situation red and black striped arm warmers a rainbow metallic turban with a big flower on the top & small satyr horns. I am reading from a piece of paper and occasionally looking up.
