some gross loosenesses...

State of Mania

Bouncing on beds
denouncing the scoffers
with screams of ideas
heads burning with thoughts
every mind has a title
all said is dead serious
except for the hilarious
Don't argue
especially now
when everything is known
as pictures flash
always true, always right

until that forced slumber
where dreams remain nameless



1989

This is the first of your poems I have read and I must admit I found it extremely expressive. Nicely done.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
