Madhouse Madrigals
A Poem by Mia Sparrow
ANCORA
in tunnels below madmen file as a privilege dining at its best
|
POMONA
when you watch yourself walking into those white walls the meds are working
|
EAST ORANGE
chained to a gurney no room at the inn tonight profanities fly
|
BELLEVUE
in twenty-two west the criminals are insane my friendly neighbor
|
WHERE THEN
observed one on one some think it's suicide watch dancing's not allowed |
SAD-GLAD
relatives come out ecstatic to see you mad wishes do come true
|
RULES
smoke in the shower tell them to smoke in your room it was them, not you
|
QUOTIDIAN
karl wants to kill me threw his coffee at my face just another day |
SLEEPWALKING
already four days daytime somnambulism closer to discharge
|
IT'S VELCRO
in four-point restraints escape true to houdini an eighty-pound shell
