Sanity

Where is sanity?.....it used to be there.
on Park benches.... lawns.
Anywhere!..... Anywhere!
Sanity has run away! took the car.... locked me up....
Today!...... oh, no!...... Today!
I've got toys to play with...... memories of yesterday........
together...... then alone.
Thoughts elude me..... blinding lights!..... is that God?......
I see?.... or is it me?
Flames...... sweat, so hot...... remember what I forgot;
it's no use to me..... Irrelevant!..... Blasphemy's!......
Society!...... where's my sanity?......
I've been told...... I'm old.... but act like I'm three.......
Don't you see?..... swimming, playing games......
People think my voice- Insane?.... on a fast train.....
to nowhere. The conductor can't see..... me.
Because- I'm not really there.... Insanity.
Free me. Feeling the pain.... run through my brain-cavity.
Cretin! oh deadly Crete!
Now loss of things to see!..... why can't I resurrect..... my brain.
Where is sanity?..... oh, yeah.....
I think I let it go free...... and wild!
and what an existence- no mind for a tress......
Crazy?...... I've forgotten already......
where is sanity?...... it used to be there.
