An insane man decided to jump
Not off a building
Or into a lake
Merely up and down
Within his room

He stopped after a while
And the nurse came to visit him

None of the other patients act quite like you, you are only one of many

He replied
With the only thing
He had ever known

But sanity is not statistical my dear..

He pushed aside
His bed violently
Threw himself
At the door
Broke his only chair and table
Against the wall
And as the nurse left the room
He threw his only book
They had given him
Out the door behind her

SANITY IS NOT STATISTICAL

The nurse ignored it
And moved on
To the next patient

As she opened the door
A book came flying at her
Its pages were in shreds

Later that day
Books were turned inside out
And ripped apart
At the spines

For all the patients
Found the book
To be beautifully tragic

But the tragedy
Out weighed the beauty

Just as:

Sanity is not statistical
**Sanity is not statistical
Paralyzed
