To see you

For all the distractions
– I am ADHD
I can see you

Though everything happens
at the same time

I can see

the forest for the trees,

the predator for the prey

I can follow the traces

trailing in the mind

and still be here

my body in the world

to see you

and look at you alone,

as you are in the moment,

cut the moment out of history

see you against the background space

in stark contrast

the being in defiance of nothingness

with all the world;

mind's eyes and cultures

places in time

your eyes and the distant thunder

of the same green

we in relation to the world
– these things to see you

in context

and remember what we share.
