Nuts

Nuts

A Poem by Soren

Always been crazy, used to talk to God
Under box cars slept lazy, others thought me odd
Walked broken ledges, in dark of night 
Made no pledges, never thought it right

Wadded white water, though I didn't swim too well
Bare foot, rats did slaughter, stomped 'em all to hell
Without a job married young, set myself on fire
Grabbed a wasp nest, stung, in an argument called myself a liar

Made my bed with snakes, slept in snow
drove without brakes, hair on my chin won't grow
Drove fast when I was hazy in the brain
Yes, I'm crazy, it's the only thing keeps me from being insane

This is a different type of poem from your normal and that is quite alright. This sounds like it’s filled with contrasting thought and actions but in a serious tone. Sometimes we sleep with snake when we chose the wrong person and our life becomes not what it should be.

this doesn’t sound like you, Soren ,so it must be a dream, or maybe not…. maybe you were high on pot…or something else…..your words are those of a “ Madman”…. with all the accoutrements …..perhaps crazy is just a few pranks, but insanity is real and according to you….you are not insane!

Loved this glimpse into a mind in flux. There is something to be said for living on the edge, movie heroes do it! ...but somehow I don't think it's for me😅
