I like those. When I began thinking that I was ADD years ago, I read a book that had this poem in it by Emily Dickinson.
I feel that we could have been friends but she seldom got out of the house, like me.
This poem amazes me to this day. Like a Van Gogh painting that I would look at everyday for hours.
I felt a cleaving in my mind
As if my brain had split;
I tried to match it, seam by seam,
But could not make them fit.The thought behind I strove to join
Unto the thought before,
But sequence ravelled out of reach
Like balls upon a floor.
