crazytown


there are different levels of crazy

the "at most a little bit crazy" of thinking that someone,
or something, somewhat like a person called god
is actually out there

the "change the conversation before it goes wrong" crazy
of thinking that this something knows about us
and might even care

the "veering into dangerous territory" crazy where conversations
with this something occur,
two way conversations

the "cross the street to avoid" crazy where
when the something suggests actions,
that among the possible responses,
is simply following the suggestion

right now, i am one step away from
the really scary crazy,
the "lock them up before they hurt someone" crazy,
where someone is all those kinds of crazy
but doesn't think it is crazy at all.
