“let me go mad”

Let me go,
madness is just
around the corner.


Put me in Wonderland
where everyone is mad,
and no one will notice.


she fears madness
even on this lovely morn
it hovers


               A man was incarcerated.
            His bail could not be debated.
             He disrobed on the street,
                they all got a peek.
     When laughs faded, cops cuffed him, ego deflated.

    Madness is a unique state of mind. Some artistic folks have been labeled such. Just being different can expose one to unique confrontations 😉

    “Put me in Wonderland

    and no one will notice.” Yes, that will do it.
