Are freaks electric?
Do they shock you? Do they put a fear into you? Are the oddities that odd in the light of the day?
Are freaks taboo?
Do they deserve they shadow hand? The second hand citizenship of fellow country men? the shun of woman and the mockery of the children?
Are freaks limited?
A rare breed, something fresh and new, something strange and beautiful. Are freaks uncommon to your life? To your world?
Are freaks diseased?
Riddled with the plague? Cursed with disability? Are freaks inhuman?
Are freaks freaks?
If respect is odd, if simply civility has gone, if that is so strange and we are paranoid of one another then mayhaps we are freaks in our own way. Just because the body lacks deformity does not mean the mind does.
Does not mean the spirit or intent does.
The worst freaks look like humans, they learn how to speak like us, to walk, talk and dress like us. All the while the dark intent lies behind the smile and jokes, behind the kind gesture.
Joesph Merrick was not an animal. Ted Bundy was.
