Poem Title:
Poem
Send Help! I’m trapped in an Insane Asylum! Well most of the time, and although there is only the two of us here The other inmate, for therapy, has put me on a programme of day release Where I am permitted to go to work, pay the running costs and deal with the day to day ills Of running this centre to house me and him, allegedly people with conditions of the mind However he swears it’s only me who is insane and it is he is the one who is just fine (Although I’ve heard that’s a symptom of those who are deranged) But when I am back on site the other inmate despite me doing everything that’s required to complete my day release work therapy Which keeps the centre for the inexcusably insane live, behaves like a real jerk In fact his behaviour is strange all round like someone who’s buried his head in the sand And doesn’t seem to want to come out....(I’m not convinced he’s not the one who’s out of his mind) This other inmate looks familiar those blue eyes and light brown hair Although he insists he is not insane and should not be there.... Yet he never leaves the centre for the mad and deranged (apparently that’s my diagnosis anyway) And there’s something about me being removed from reality? That I ‘just don’t get it!’ (Although he never explains it – preferring to communicate by just huffing puffing and looking grumpy - a language without words I cannot understand) Yet isn’t it me who leaves the centre for the mentally insane to go on my day release work therapy every day? I don’t get it I think that’s because (so the other inmate says) it’s me who is insane So while I am on my day release scheme he stays within the asylum walls alone Waiting for who knows what? Although his therapy seems to involve something.... I think he calls it ‘Facebook’? Apparently it’s a great place where online he is 18 again and not 36, which fixes everything! (Please proceed to part 2 - thank you)
