Creative ADDers

The Opposite Subtractor

By Joseph Aquilina

I forgot to remember
Yet,
I seem to remember
to forget
The non sequential contender
Quick thinking, impulsive in debt?

Give me that, I want more
I'm Not satisfied
Like a crack whore
Yes yes yes yes yes
But really "no"
I just know, it's not a guess

Don't call me a div
I have no filter, I have no sieve
The maverick, the eccentric
The loudmouth inappropriate... dick

On your marks, get set, think!
This damned mind riot, deep breaths don't sink.
Paperwork, forms, clocks and box ticking
I love not doing... Adrenalin licking
Mmmmmm, give me more
I want more not todo
Oooo look at that, how beautiful
I'm sorry... what was I telling you?

Tunnel vision,
but unlike the tube map
Times focusing on brilliance
The energy the resilience
But at times, focussing on crap;
I need that maps structure
So as not to loose focus
and rupture.
The running the jumping the heart beating quick...
Where is that pill, give me lick

The red and blue pill all in one shell
Might as well Morpheus... I thank you!
Morpheus... Morphine: sleep... What the hell?
The reins, the blinkers for the race horse to do well.

Methylphenidate
never miss a date,
I'm not so late.
Atomoxitine,
so my mood
does not lean
Not so angry
and Not so mean.

The TV channel Dopamine.
CD per subscription
for that neurotransmission,
for dealing with the mundane.
Theres no left brained rewards
for always, floating freely...
In the right side of your brain.

9 to 5
Doesn't really make me feel alive
Creativity in that space
That gives me drive.
As long as I'm not sinking
In my tangental divergent thinking
I don't need to be a sheep my dear,
This hop skip jumping goat
Can definitely learn to shear.
