Diagnostic Neuroatypicality

by Thom Dunn

1.
When my head won't stop and Thoughts keep coming 'til they suddenly drop Mid-spot Then pick up in another time and place I run around a while and try to see it straight, but My brain burns fast to concentrate I can't wait I'm frustrated, but there's no place to escape Everything, everything is on my mind That's why I'm running and running in it all the time, and why I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why Then I prime the engine just to give it a start Until my thoughts churn forward and drag my heart Now I'm flying too fast, but I ain't crashed so far Kicking this cognition into overdrive with A mania that makes the most of a life It's dangerous, but it's the only way I'm all right At least, most of the time Everything, everything is on my mind That's why I'm running and running in it all the time, and why I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why Everything, everything is on my mind Now I'm running and running in it all the time, and I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why Everything's on my mind When I've wandered way too far for me to find And I've made my way around the synapses inside I don't mind that I get lost half of the time Until you come to me, and then suddenly… Everything, everything is on my mind That's why I'm running and running in it all the time, and why I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why Everything, everything is on my mind Now I'm running and running in it all the time, and I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why Everything, everything is on my mind That's why I'm running and running in it all the time, and why I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why Everything, everything is on my mind Now I'm running and running in it all the time, and I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why
