Justin, just go pull weeds-vines. Monitor the activity in the nearby cemetary. Contemplate the life of a feral cat. Appreciated your writing-as always. School's out.

I love this poem Justin. Thank you for writing it and thank you for sharing it. ❤️👏👏👏👏

The initial part of the poem brought to mind what I’ve been learning about what it’s like to have an ADHD brain, especially when ADHD is combined with having a high IQ.

(For anyone interested, that’s known as 2e-ADHD.)

This is a beautiful poem and reflection. I personally relate to the reference to emails that should have been calls and calls that should have been emails, so egregious when our mental faculties are finite! Thank you for putting it to words. Thank God for the "...one who sees, and cuts the cords to free a mind for the hard, hard work of rest." Here's to traveling the untraveled roads once again.
