Light bends in maddening meaning
streaking at sunrise through the spirit.
Heart palpitates quicker from the exposure,
twisting reality through a mental straw.
Thoughts become sculpture pretzel caricatures
because the day had claws digging into the face of normal,
discovering sanity is only an illusion
fostered by the parade of clowns we never really know,
who play practical jokes using roman candle philosophies,
used as candles to try and see with eyes closed.
