The Distinct Challenges of Hyperfocus

by Randy Horton

Straddling a life between town and country,

I remember you once stood on a snake.

You never saw it as we were shouting,

Until you moved and it slithered away.

Once you walked into a concrete column,

As I told you to hurry and catch up.

But you were focused and a little solemn,

Just searching for green anoles close up.

So many times you fell into a pond,

And I had to pull...

tent

by Ann Foxglove

There’s no room in my tent for you

Only space enough for me
