touched in the head
to put his madness mildly
a clinical case
but it stood
and it grew
until 1982
spontaneous combusted
when his crate
could not be trusted
the doctors reacting wildly

the ideas seem to flow
like a river ?
no
a river is headed somewhere

life is a journey
in that case it is merely
a literary mechanism
a very tired device

there once was a *** of chili
smooth as velvet
tangy, earthy spiced and pleasantly hot
it brought me great joy

we haven’t had a definitive moment for awhile
how come ?
**** I can’t even remember the last one
they really are pretty ******* rare
if you think about it
they say that good literature
always involves conflict
of some nature
but madness can easily substitute
and will survive any clash
it is also wildly entertaining

how to react
to an uncomfortable remark:
think yourself dressed
in stars and stripes crepe
red white and blue
with top hat and white beard

why, you are Uncle Sam !

you have two bright sparklers
in your hands and you high step
parade through the confetti
that floats in the air marching
to the tune of a brass
band that has suddenly appeared
you apply a Robert Preston grin

why, you are the Music Man !

happy forever to strut with purpose
in an endless carnival

that’s how you react
to an uncomfortable remark

there aren’t any bad ideas
they have never existed
everything is a good idea

its just a thing
a bit of substance
it has no spirit
no hidden meanings,
thoughts or feelings
the frame boxes
the painting
a clearly defined
line of no existence
inside the line
think what you will
outside the line
actuality

in extreme unction
existence is sacrament

we all agree that time was a mistake
a bothersome distraction
raises way to many questions
offers no solutions
an ear of tin
apply all the order you want
but research entropy first
