Long Hyperactivity Poems

It may have been the devil himself who prompted the kids in my schoolyard back in 1947 to chant "Patsy Foley's roly-poly from eating too much ravioli."

At first, no one could remember who started the...

My early 20s Eldest Black Lives Matter Son
wears his disabling ADHD label uncomfortably,
impatiently,
like a possibly self-redeeming crown
but with unfortunate MessiahComplex thorns
as the Great WhiteMan's sacrificial lamb.

His First, and hopefully last, Girl
is an ADHD Latina,
with sparkling...

In cooperative detective work,
including Earth scientific research,
we are told to follow the money
much more often
than feeling invited 
to follow the nutritional health investors
and the toxic pathological attackers

Whether our trail is a criminal
or political
economic impassioned journey
of...

I was speaking with a bus driver mom
about her bipolar son withdrawing from meds
on a trial basis,
hoping to qualify for military service.

She was praising the strengths of her son's Christian school,
from which he is about...

Breathe 

When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old 
and it takes you to the caves where anything turns gold. 
You don't ask any questions and you don't dare breathe.
You just follow...

Hyperthermia can be caused by standing in slip streams in sluice dumps. It never really fails if ice water can run a lake from a rusted tap. And the mid morning broken by the drip...

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
What does that mean?
Does it mean I'm unmotivated,
Just a lazy teen?
I think there's so much more
Maybe I'm misunderstood
It could be the reason
Why I can't just be good

Throughout my life
I've been judged and...

In an innate world, the brain is beautiful.
Being two percent of the body mass, the brain requires about twenty

The most beautiful image ever seen...

ADHD
Life with adhd
Our brains work differently
We have a lot of hyperactivity
We are good at what we can do
But just struggle to focus as good as you
We can get distracted very easily
Excessive talking and being fast...

For some reason, Thursdays find me warped both in a space of inertia and hyperactivity. Perhaps the anticipation from hitting work deadlines on a Friday creates havoc within my frail psyche.


Half-awake, I forget the kitchen's...

Guns,
and ballistic threats
don't settle anything
They can't,
more quickly
kill.

Mindfulness,
and compassion therapies,
might restore peace
We could
most inclusively
embrace.

Could our court
and prison
and police
and legislative systems
become more mindful,
less judgmental,
by restoring win/win hopeful health?

Rather than punishing
shadowed neurodiversity
and cognitive limitations
and post traumatic stress disorders
and...

I saw a death shadow in the eyes of my infancy
a soft mercy with calm blue fancy,
in childhood, when free will asserted it's wild supremacy
we sang of star charriots and laughter loyal to hyperactivity,
I see...

Haphazard chaos became the norm.
Attention Deficit Disorder brought the storm
Throw in a little hyperactivity and boys.
Rip roaring commotion and a disarray of toys.
Every action challenged serenity.
Drama pierced peaceful woodlands rowdily. 

Never did their pain elicit...

We compete.
We project.
This is the game we play.
Basketball NBA!

We thrive.
We catch.
We are strategized.

Year two
A time for changing
Growing
And most of all
Speaking
 
Experienced in the art
Of forming words and phrases
Many were not prepared
For her verbal skill
 
Many sounds
No clue how to use them
Just an eager mind
And a mouth
 
Words...

In the morning I take heed, I need my fix…
Running around like a headless steed, I start to mix…
Just an ambient aphrodisiac, my tantalizing tea…
A dormant astral amnesiac, in a matrix reality…

My deficit hyperactivity starts...

I have two adulterish children
with ADHD
and some disconcerting levels
of unemployable diversity.

They go through each day
with three parts harmony:
I want this,
I want that,
and then
I want this Other Thing.

In this they remind me
of me more than not:
