Einstein Insanity

There is considerable danger that a man will be crazy between dinner and supper; but it will not directly answer any good purpose that I know of, and it is just as easy to be sane. - Thoreau

you gathered black leather

you married white lace

knowing how to simultaneously pick up the tempo and drop the pace

vanishing without a trace

stained glass and candles without mercy or grace

a fueled rocket on a launchpad, counting down and stuck at zero, craving space

holding all the cards

plasticized jokers and nary an ace

claiming you had a full house while showing another face

a pitbull jury with neither jurisdiction nor case

a picked flower in need of water with a cracked, rare vase

two powerful countries engaged in an arms race

a shiny new keyboard without the backspace

Author's Note

"Staying in the house breeds a sort of insanity always. Every house is, in this sense, a hospital." - Thoreau

I love it! You are so creative and spot on in your messages. Tinged with light-hearted verses, you keep humor as a tool to deep down relief from world and societies ills.
Coupled with your muse, you walk in his shoes.
