A MAD WORLD, MY MASTERS




I cut my self

out of the mirror.




My reflection

tinkles to the floor.




I sweep up

these shards of self




with red

dust pan and brush.




Well, that's enough

of this




me

for the moment.




I think to

my self




and wander off

to find




the me

I have




yet to be




discarding

what I have been




reading




Middleton's

A MAD WORLD, MY MASTERS.
***

Tears for Fears MAD WORLD comes on the radio as I fall out of my(self)and death guts my world whilst reading  A MAD WORLD, MY MASTERS.

"Tis a mad world (my masters) and in sadnes / I travail'd madly in these dayes of madnes."

"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow."
