Poem: My Affordable ADHD Diagnosis

A poem about the trap of internet diagnoses…

I filled in the form in a burst of energy,
nailed it and got the results it wanted
to give. [Just agree to a monthly fee

to get the best management]. By then,
I was bored and started hyperfixating
on the music of Todd Rundgren, and

the poetry of Langston Hughes; figured
if I left all further online tests right
where they belonged I’d be able

to listen to Todd, read Langston,
and have a bit more time
for all that second guessing…
