A stream of consciousness poem written with the intent to show the experience of sitting in nature, but it ended up more showing the experience of having ADHD.
Dam water flowing
roar roar roar
Cardinal
House sparrow
Goose goose goose
House sparrow
Wait wait wait wait wait
Green is the grass that grows on yonder field
Red swing

That’s the Sparrow
Flit in the trees
What could it be
Another Sparrow today
Or a Redwing like yesterday
Robin calling from afar
But I’m distracted by a car
They come over the bridge
What rhymes with bridge?
Goose goose goose
Dam still roaring
Torrent torrent torrent
Heat sets in
Waxwing?
The sun is a deadly laser
Not as much as before
But still hot after the rain

Robin calls again
His warbling song
Or hers? Can’t really tell

Says the General
Bold Male
House Sparrow claiming his perch
Robin warbles
Das ist normal
roar roar roar
Fly on the table
Diptera
Sniffing about
Vireo?
No, something else
“Please, do not move tables, thank you.”

Faster now
roar roar roar
Water still rushing over the dam
That was something
Birb
Goose still goosing
Technically geese
Fisherman walks
Across the bridge
Trying to find a good spot
But the water might be too high
Rain earlier
The sky fell
Wait, that’s not the present
Or if my mind is in the present, thinking of the past, does that make the past the present?
Or, does that make the present the past?
What even is time anyway?
roar roar roar
Dam still watering
Water still damming
Tweets from further away
The General has moved on
Squirrel
No, a Robin
I’m just blind
Light chips
Cardinal?
drink your drink your drink your
But not Towhee
Sounds more like Wren
But not Jiminy
Come on Wren, speak to me
ZOOOOM
Bird across the parking lot
Goose goose goose
Goose>3
“Use by permit only”
chechechecheche
But faster
Female House Sparrow
She flew away
She watches me
Judging
Birds care about my typing

roar roar roar roar
Yup, the dam still works
Lightning bug!
But it no light
The sun is out, so he is just flying
Fisherman walks on, no catch

Longer tweets
Still the House Sparrows
What is love
Baby don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
No more
I didn’t even listen to that song
Why is it in my head
German was earlier
That’s why my writing is “normal”
Schriebe normal
Schreibe?
Spelling is hard
