Keeping One's Distance/ The Poetry of Madness

Depersonalization Derealization Dissociation Delusional Hallucinations Confabulation Perseveration persevered. Clanging Rhyming Echolalia echolalia. Paranoia Ideas of reference Thought blocking Internal stimuli Thought broadcasting heard every way every day. Mental disorders or poets extraordinary The Paiute anthropologist locked up on the inpatient unit with visions of the ancestors dancing in his eyes said "See these folks you have locked up, In ancient days from the desert hills they came our way delivered truths in their special way. "Once they had their say On desert winds they blew back up to their hills away straight away. " "Can you please give me the keys. I've said what I had to say. "
