Is He Contagious??

He marches to the beat of a different drummer,
as his cousin Janie wonders;
what are shoes?
They’ve institutionized her,
and it’s only a matter of time
before they pick him up.
Heating his house with a GE toaster,
he counts the number of meteors in the Pleiades. 
At least shooting stars commune,
as no one else wants to be near
for fear they’ll catch autism
and suffer 
a similar fate.
