Crazy Is As Sanity Does

Staying in the house breeds a sort of insanity always. Every house is, in this sense, a hospital. - Thoreau

i always thought that everyone was crazy

and that i was the only sane one in this world

then i learned that i'm the one who's crazy

it doesn't change anything though

except that now i have a choice

i can either change and join the rest of the sane world

or remain crazy

i choose the latter

because i don't want to be bothered with the hassle of returning a membrane

you see, i don't have the right size box

or a shipping label

plus i don't want to have to go to the post office

as today they're predicting rain

Author's Note

"If one listens to the faintest but constant suggestions of his genius, which are certainly true, he sees not to what extremes, or even insanity, it may lead him; and yet that way, as he grows more resolute and faithful, his road lies." - Thoreau

[Poetic Beauty]

Some of the most amazing people are what society would declare as insane or crazy. The inventors, the scientists, the artist of all doctrines. The ones who see a world that others can not see and feel. We are the innovators and illusionists that bring the undiscovered into existence

[Re-Pete]

so true what you say. the world needs people who aren't afraid to think outside of the box.

Today... we woke up to Snow... Today we stayed Home....
Tomorrow we will be on the Road... God willing and the River doesn't Rise... Amen...

Tis the same old story.. finely put.

Best go with the normal crazies, stay still when spoken to, stoke the fire and dream of days full of puddle-jumping, ceiling swinging, doing a Krupa with saucepans and never never putting either the name or house number on an envelope. PeRhaps.

Happy days are here again! Must be the freezing cold, the log fires and hot chocolate. . ..

[Re-Pete]

... have been drinking hot chocolate these past few nights and dressing milo in two layers these days - his turtle neck sweater and coat ...
