Naturally InsaneThe most talented people ******are naturally crazed. They see twisted curves ******where others see straight shapes. They hear the music of revolving spheres ******while most detect only noise. They taste the vintage of exhilaration ******while most ken mere grapes. They imagine continents crumbling ******as sand passes through their hands. Ordinary people are boring ******& often brain-dead. As a representative of mediocrity ******I understand this: Ta piss at life with a shriveled dick ******& udderly umpty head |
| Devani: | The basic premise of this poem is wrong: I know a lot of talented people with no evidence of dysfunction. |
| Bruce: | . . . and I know some dysfunctional people who aren't so talented. |
| Carlos: | Well, it's good to reflect on the whole notion of sanity and normality. |
| Anya: | I am afraid most so-called 'normal' people are nearly all dysfunctional in some ways, yet functional in others. |
