Oh Sanity, my son, my son.
I miss him
almost enough to say,
Too bad he didn't win.

[note: my genie rebelled and posted some terrible
piece of trash here in an attempt to embarrass me.
Fortunately, it didn't work, and I am hurting him
as I speak. As for what's left, it may not be very
good, but it's at least appropriate.]

hmmmmmm...hmm...what can i say but hmm..this kind of made me think...the age old conception of madness and genius in one body. The "divine madness",the fear of insanity,and the embrace of it....hmmm...so many thoughts went through my head with just these few few words you've written...i'd like to know what inspired it..(but don't tell me that ruins it!!  ) interesting poem

I'm with Swamp, MM, puzzled but fascinated.
You could try an alterego, they fit in well here.

Erasers are good sometimes. But.....
now we'll always wonder what it was like?
And our imaginations will run wild in all directions from this excellent piece you've given us.
Very ingenious, man.
ttytt, I like all your work.

Thanks.
