geese

my mind prefers madness.

it must be that way

madness accumulated

day after day.

geese in the river

geese in the sea

the geese are like me.

I don't want to be free either. Geese are kind. Maybe madness is about being kind. That's what my mind is saying after reading these sublime words.

[John Jackson (El Juero)]

Interesting thought. Your work always forces my brain to use different neural pathways, which is a GOOD thing!

Love the writing!

[Siddhartha]

Oh, but there is a thin line that separates madness and genius. You strut both worlds.And being free. I don't know whether I am but I still aspire for it.

Well I never thought that about geese I must say..but you seem to have laid a golden egg here...

thank you

This is my favorite! But of course, madness *is* my favorite theme. I'm in love with the sing-song Mother Goose vibe. The first two stanzas say it all. It's almost safer to stay on the other side of sane, it's somehow comforting. And likening it to geese? So clever. The last line leaves me with a bit of a haunted feeling. But then I re-read it and smiled all over again.

"my mind prefers madness." - a slapped line of prose, well done

[Robin]

I was always amazed how Geese could be penned

madness seems to be the homeostatic midline of my mind. the accumulated nature of it day after day.. geese-like. and getting free of the madness, would, i am certain, only be a retreat into the prison of the mundane.
