StraightJacket Serenade

Writers, they're all insane. As the writer of this one, I suppose I might be included.

Listen to this

My straight jacket serenade.

Maybe one day

All this crazy can get me paid,

But till that day

I’ll keep doing what it is I do

For no one but me

Especially not for you.

The heathen.

The heretic.

Mad men--meet the madman.

No one can understand

What it is I’m thinking

What the hell I’m tryin’ t’ say

All for love or logic?

Yes, no, maybe either way.

Run from me please

I tell every person that I meet.

I’ve got madness

That’d keep fifty shrinks up for weeks.

Heart’s in the wrong place

My head’s not on straight.

You tell me that you like it

But trust me, you just have to wait.

I’m nothing more than--

No, nothing less than--

The heathen.

The heretic.

Mad men--meet the madman.

No one can understand

What it is I’m thinking

What the hell I’m tryin’ t’ say

All for love or logic?

Yes, no, maybe either way.

Welcome to the interior of my mind.

Far superior to those inferior of whom you might find.

I’m so humble in my most enigmatic boasts.

I’ll push you back out as your most gracious host.

Let me scream my theories in the playhouse halls.

Let me waste your time with late night bedroom calls.

I once wrote my name in something that looked like blood.

I then scrawled some Holy Scriptures with a rock in the mud.

The heathen.

The heretic.

Mad men--meet the madman.

No one can understand

What it is I’m thinking

What the hell I’m tryin’ t’ say

All for love or logic?

Yes, no, maybe either way.

there's always logic in love

I read this out loud and had so much fun with it. It's very versatile in the way that it can be presented. Calmly chilling, enthusiastically, even playful. I really enjoyed this, thank you.

[Coyote Poetry]

I like this poem. I like your thoughts and i do understand your statements.
"No one can understand
What it is I’m thinking
What the hell I’m tryin’ t’ say
All for love or logic?"
People have consider me a madman for many years. Kept me safe. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
