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 (prophecy) |

I got tired of pretending to be sane. Now it seems, most people think that I am... I just don't care. As long as it doesn't hurt It's O.K. by me And I do like this poem... Started me thinking... Who said that it is bad luck to be superstitious? Shenachie |
