What is Normal

It’s the sanity that gets you

angels, ordinary - all around

Do whatever, just to get through

fall to pieces on the ground

~

Take a breath and catch your footing

play pretend, say pretty please

Caviar and chocolate pudding

collect a blessing whenever you sneeze

~

To the edge of your existence

as you laugh, you roll your eyes

Staying alive takes real persistence

it’s so much easier, to die

~

Insanity is an illusion

insomnia - reveals the truth

Cuts through the make believed confusion

no recognition of the proof

~

Normal lends to speculation

normal, a phrase loosely defined

Expanding on truth's illumination

living in means that life assigned

surreal poetry
