Notice of absence from Chad Carlson
Hey everyone.
While I'm not back yet I'm throwing in an update. My surgery went well. I'm in so much pain! But hopefully the end result will be worth it. I'm fused from my shoulder blades to my tailbone. It feels about like I thought that it would. Not being able to wipe myself without a special tool is a bit disheartening. But I'll adapt.
Another shout out to Mason. He kept his word to try to include me in things. And even though I didn't participate in the fusion poems, I did appreciate the invitation. Our second battle is coming soon. And I look forward to my upcoming second loss...
I ask for everyone's opinion... I'm changing my profile picture soon. Should the new one be an X-ray of my back post surgery from the side, an X-ray of my back post surgery from the back, or a picture of my back taken last night during the wound check with the outer bandages removed?
Please let me know. Thank you for actually caring everyone.
The winner is the picture of my back scar during first wound check with outer bandages removed!

By Chad Carlson
I get this question a lot
I'm a dyslexic introvert with Asperger's
More clutter than not
My mind has so many things
It's hard to sort it out
I start on one subject
But it's always roundabout
Fifteen subjects later
I remember how to end the first thought
Most people have already walked away
Their patience completely shot
My tone is loud and direct
Most people call me an asshole
I mean no disrespect
It's hard to correct something when you don't know what you're doing
My wife calls me dense and stupid sometimes
Leaves my confidence utterly ruined
If there was a way to declutter
I'd do it without a second thought
But then I wouldn't know anything
And my creativity would just stop

I admire the courage.
Thank you for reading this and leaving a nice comment. It's terrifying to put myself out there for everyone to see. I have accounts on several poetry sites. I'll be posting more soon. Some are dark and horror driven, some are about the darkest times of my life. Please check back periodically for another dose of weird 🤣
Powerful and courageous.
I appreciate your kind words. I'll be posting more everyday. At least for a while anyway.
