This is writing that doesn't fit into any particular category. It's not prose and it's not quite poetry. It's not quite sane but it's something healthy. Not all of us have it figured out. I sure as hell don't. It's a series of locutions on madness and locura.

There comes a time

This blank page staring back at me is clawing at my eyes
Everything with perspective turns introspective and I can't trust it
Only a few things give me comfort, only a few things still feel real
There comes a big gray cloud that seems insuperable
And I realize that the rain has to come in my life as well
All things come to pass

My vision is like an Owl Creek Overpass
I hang the lantern to find my way back in the dark
But the wind took away the flame and now I'm stuck in the depths of the forest
There's a precipitous path that I question with every step
Every step begets a question, every eye registers displeasure and disdain

Maybe I'll find that lantern
Maybe I'll relight it

There's no way to tell
