I know this sounds crazy but
sometimes I want to take a razor blade
and I won't tell you what I really want to do
except that it involves the shaving of heads
and the aerodynamics of a mohawk while fighting a freefall,
skin stretched plastic by the wind
it has to do with freedom and the shedding
of twenty-six years of pain
and I know this sounds crazy
but I want to run naked and screaming
into downtown traffic at rush hour,
red lights gridlock everyone stopped
lanes of people on cell phones staring
and sometimes I want to jump
off a thousand tiny tables in a day
just to say I did it , I did it
and what did it get me?

I'd still remember those twenty-six years-
twenty-six years I'd ( probably) do again.

I guess what's crazy is me, because this sounds as sane as I ever want to be.

I know that place...

...cept for I was waiting for the 3 lanes of oncoming, rush hour traffic to slow so I could cross, I wondered...what if I just stepped off, right into this stampede of steel. Apparantly I didn't want to know that bad. Great poem!

Journey.

In spite of everything ~ the 26 year journey was worth it. This poem has an undertone of sadness. Well Written!

Quite moving... I can closely relate to this feeling. Which leaves me asking, just how crazy is it?

Moving

a tad unhinged, sad. I read a variety of emotions in this poem, elegantly crafted by that wonderful mind of yours. Mentioned in today's new poem reviews
