ADHD
And...
why is there a pen in my hand?
must have been an emotion
it'll come back to me
probably lost in the commotion
my thoughts often just flee
Retrace my steps
crumb by crumb
war in ukraine
made me numb
oh fuck, Chernobyl
was that there too?
the government is evil
what else is new?
things don't change
poison in the air
crowds in the street
do we even care?
almost there
almost there
I can feel its edges
it's not fair
tangents upon tangents
I must have left a clue
it's escaping again
nothing I can do
Why's there a song in my head?
taking up so much space
meant for little things
to get by every day
not entangled by strings
Coffee! coffee!
coffee never fails
I should get more
wasnt there a sale?
some Ethiopian brand
Africa, oh bless you
children scavenging
for a bite of food
Food! Groceries!
where's my list?
why do my thoughts
disappear like mist?
Focus! Focus!
close your eyes
it's not lost
chase the butterflies
slow! slow!
focus on your breathe
dive back in
find that thread
Why am I staring at the wall?
what is this corrosion
I can't withstand
every precious notion
is but a line in the sand
Where was I?
oh yes, the perils
like politicians
wicked little devils
always the victim
stoking fire
global temperature
going higher
species dying
squirrels and birds
outside my window
what's that I heard?
a car going by
there's so much noise
tune it out
no other choice
Distract! Distract!
a few more tries
I am always running
yet paralyzed
wait! where's my coffee?
and why is there a pen in my hand?
