I've read some of the posts here about the challenges of writing with ADD, and H nowandthen... where was I? Oh yeah, and I feel like you do. I hope I belong among you.uggl

The compulsiton to express myself is the same for us all. Yet, I struggle to put together a cogent thought longer than noon shaddow. I like to think I can write some semi-pretty good sentences. Maybe stretch that steely-eyed atention span to a paragraph or two. But then I get lost. More confused about what to do next. At least for a while. Then another flash of thought, another great sentence and then off again after the next shiny object fluttering by.

Finally! People who understand that without apologies! Thank you.

By way of offering thanks, never truer at this moment for me is this line I wrote in the 1980 with a touch up.

As if ink were vital fluids gushing
from some part within me broken,
words dark and dangerous flush out my soul
to express breathless sorrows unspoken.
