Coffee Pants

Coffee Pants
A boy who can't walk without crutches
also can't carry a cup of coffee to his room
without spilling,
all. over. his. leg.
 
The dispossessed feeling of anger and sadness
is waning,
and joy
is taking its place.

Once you get into it, this is so good it's hard to critique.  You might omit "also" as inessential.  I also mildly question the commas after "spilling" and "waning" - the former more than the latter.

Another thing is L4.  On first reading, the periods work and give an appropriate stumble to the motion.  But it's also a bit trendy, a Valley voice, if you will, which tends to be supercillious ... which is not indicated here.  Just a suggestion:  you might try placing each word on its own line thus

all
over
his
leg.

which should produce the right reading without the fadlishness.

The sentiment, though, is terrific - and so seldom seen in these days of safe spaces and trigger warnings:  picture of a person getting over himself.  Very fine.

(The above without reading the other critics, please forgive any duplication in the above.)
