Been feeling a bit psychotic These daze They come like déjà vu Ghosts glimpses twinges Red flags and herrings Divided bipolar ying yanging Full pendulum swing Trying to believe I’ve filled my double chin With wisdom and superstition Not fear and humiliation Wisdom tells me We’ve been around this block before Superstition listens Pays attention I discuss it among my selves A multiple choice Semester exam With essays on morality True / false on reality Spring cleaning soul search inventory Assets debits Options Reorganization diversification intoxication liquidation Repetition Intuition Circles cycles orbits Laws of nature That brings the pendulum to a stop Dead center And until that day It will pass and linger A little more each way Coming closer bit by bit Ups and downs dwindling with momentum Sliding with the sand through the vortex Of the cerebral cortex and synaptic activity I recognize my sanity Each time it passes by I smile and wave We chat a bit About winter coming And time for conversations About growing old and going crazy (repost) |

I seem to remember this, but I'm not positive. You went through some changes within the structure of this poem. Oh I understand psychotic, but you have to watch for those "essays on morality." And I have to admit that growing old means going a little crazy, or were we already crazy and it just took that time to fulfill itself? Enjoyed. ~*~ |

Hmm I often find myself talking to myself.But when I started talking back in answer I began to wonder.And talking to the TV commentators seems a bit much at times but at least they do not answer back. best to you.Jo |

..and it's always good to have a chat with one's multiple selves...one never knows what one will [self] discover...yes, indeed.  Write-On~*~ |
