JOYS OF MADNESS
Staying up all night painting
the enamel ceiling dark hues of blue
yellow stars and white lightning
dunking fries in catsup
drinking Pepsi
chewing ice
knowing the whole world is
sleeping on its back
kicking at the universal dream
loving
night shadows on soft skin
music playing in another room
lying quiet
holding on
holding on
to the joys of madness.
