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 ordinary grapes. They imagine continents crumbling ******as sand passes through their hands. The majority of people are boring ******& often brain-dead. As a representative of mediocrity ******I understand this: What value is breathing ******when you have an empty head? |
Devani: | The basic premise of this poem is wrong: I know a lot of talented people with no evidence of dysfunction. |
Brice: | . . . and I know some dysfunctional people who aren't so talented. |
Carlos: | Well, it's good to reflect on the notiona of sanity, normality, and talent. |
Anya: | I am afraid most so-called 'normal' people are dysfunctional in some ways, yet functional in others. |
