Madness!

The rush around the

Circumference, at tangents,

Perpendiculars to and into the

Heart

of  madness.

Noises!

noise in the air, around

the head;

Into the brain,

A din of noises undistinguished.

Pierce the air.

Kept from sleep.

Madness!

Your brain’s awhirl;

a solid thought forgotten.

Boredom overtakes us;

Creation is a struggle;

We are in the heart of

Madness.
