Imps

i wonder when /insanity/ became ,fashionable,

people treat it as some sort of key

a special! STATE of conscious-ness

that reveals some truth previously u-n-known

what truth does it reveal?

:other than its own existence:

what SECRETs do we learn?

aside from what madness could be like

lOOk

madness is RE-la-TIVE

if the world went mad

who? would notice (

apart from those left behind)

is i

t

reeaaaaaaaaaally

uniq

ue?

the prob,

my bros and hos,

is that different insanities are

different

our CONciousness

is our tower of Babel

So if we get sick of listening to Gibberish,

we can’t articulate our annoyance to each other.

e.e. cumming style

Medicine

Pyramids, spheres, eggs, and sea urchins,

(Like fog-shapes

Rapidly descending on a fall day)

Falling slowly through the water

Never losing its powdery texture

A contrast

Of the senses

BITTER YET RELIEVING

Of the purpose

HEALING YET POISONOUS

A re-writer of history:

Feigning change in character

When in reality

It is little better than a Quack

A commoner’s potion!

Bubbling and steaming

In its tiny cauldron

Snakes and spirits

Rising up to burn

All the while promising

To cure all ills
