Insanity has a certain Face.

When I go insane

It will be that creeping

brand of madness,

sneaking over my brain

like a cloudy veil.

 

A whick-whacking creature,

trudging with sticky feet,

forward, forward, into my mind,

a pesky itch just behind

my right

eye socket.

 

La la la la!

 

I’ll pace around

grinning and singing.

I’m going to get lost in my head,

and you can too.

 

didn’t they tell you?

The infinite universe

is inside your head

too—
