I’m an ADD Omelet Scrambling to Happen.

29 05 2008

What? Who knows. It sounded cool when it arrived in my head, so I just said it. That’s ADD for you. Not thinking before speaking. Working on it!

I have big ideas. With only small powers to execute. I can’t. I have ADD. I recently found out. My feelings are mixed – regret about the past, encouraged about the future, stuck in the moment. I just took my 2nd Adderall pill tonight. But instead of working on my Great American Play, I’m writing this damn blog.

I signed up for an ADD support group. It’s something, right? I have visions of seeing Meatloaf with his big boobs sobbing all over me ala Fight Club. Will it be a circle of people who are incessantly rambling? Will we pay attention to each other’s testimonials from start to finish or will our minds be wandering around the room, floating in helium-state toward space?

I have a deadline for my play on June 2, and here I am dicking around on a blog. A cry for help? Who’s really listening anyway? I write these blogs for posterity, so when I’m found face down, they can read this and make an independent movie out of it.





Turning the Corner

TURNING THE CORNER

The hail comes
coping with hope
surprised
the capacity for human behavior
derailed
hindered
trying to forget
I have admiration
for people who can forget about you
People who come and go
I don’t have that talent
Is there a drug for that?
Move forward, soldier.
Nothing to see here.
Finish the goddam story already.
“She buries me. She makes me invisible.”
the city I live in.
craving to be heard
needing a hand.
“where is this love”
“all i hear are easy words”
closer to what?

Centrifugal force
Too great
To turn the corner
