" Little chicken and the insanity defense "
everyone's said for years
it's not that she's so weird
it's that everytime she passes
friendly ground she sends out sparks
& they've watched her natter on of how
no one knows a goddamn thing
& on & on of how it's always her
that's wrongly banished to the dark
besides, all she really said was
the world was failing all her tests
something fell from somewhere
it was blue & caused a briuse
surely psyches small & fragile
can be coaxed to understanding
strange things happen to most everyone
& we all know what it is to lose
one's head at an inauspicious minute
see the universe come crashing .. BANG
all of us can be forgiving can't we
even generous to one so meek & pure
now she knows the consequence of panic
can be counted on to just keep calm
& of course now she takes her medication
perhaps one day we'll find a cure.
