Unhinged

The Mad Hatter: “Have I gone mad?”

Alice: “I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret All the best people are.”

Some people live one day at a time. Even 1 hour at a time. Then there are stable humans that live with their sights set decades from today.

But some of us, We live In the moment

Then in another, 20 years from now And then Back again

But we Do not stick But a pregnant Pause

Before shifting Focus to the Heady days of Our younger years

When we were Wild and young And Free

But not really Because we Were never Free

Just like now And just like Later We will always

Exist

And we buck That because It is NOT Enough

To merely Exist when You long to Spin and dance

And laugh And shout Cry tears Of joy

Delirious on Life and Those mad hatters We call friends

And who will Always be friends Even...

Even

When

They’re

Not
