Insanity
The first time ever you
lose your mind
will be a sublime leap into
darkness so blind
devoid of light/ of reason/
of rhyme.
Watch the shifting
paradigm
inside your mind.
Skip once/ bounce
twice/shout loud/profane
life is lived more soundly-
outside of your brain.
To the left/turn
right/ drive unrestrained
sip champagne at intervals
while laughing at the
sane.
Strange thoughts should
not ever
be tamed.
Leave them to run wild;
unrestrained:
like daring ,dancing
painted,
Dames.
Nothings changed.
You must remain
exempt from the
reality of the
sane.
A common sense refrain,
every day life is such
a drain.
As far as you know
think about/no in fact go
take the short trip-
the alternate plane.
Life's a little calmer
when you go
Insane.

Instability, an inherited family trait or curse.
She avoided controversy and unusual

Picture if you will a frame of mind
Where thoughts and dreams become entwined
Where truth and false are wine and dine
