I have made the mistake of leaving my fate up to my mind; I imagine that in an alternate universe there is a place for me in a chair somewhere in a room with floral print wallpaper and a bed dressed with white sheets and throw pillows and silk bed skirts all adorned with delicate pink cotton lace. If I allow my feet to touch the floor i will find that the hardwood is neither cold nor warm; it does not stick my sweaty feet, its boards do not bow or creak beneath my weight; though old it does not pierce my feet when it splinters--and it does splinter.
Friend, if you are not sane then I am not sane--and you are the boy who screams at the world outside his window on 23rd St. in Oakland as though it were the whole world that was watching, listening.
