Becoming-With a Country

An upside-down American flag where the blue square white stars are replaced with a blue and white handicap placard wheelchair symbol. Red stripes are shaky and rough.
How it can feel still becoming-with the United States as a disabled community member.

Above is how it often feels to live in the United States during and post-Covid with a disability (and before then, too, at times). The stripes are rough as marks of my own inability to hold a line due to neurological issues, but also, to resemble blood.
