All Genius Includes a Bit of Lunacy
all genius includes a bit of madness
she’s a loon, they say, touched, odd
because she is an original, a comedienne,
an artist, a painter, a singer, a dancer
none of these things make money, they say
she’s abnormal, perhaps the biggest compliment of all
a quintessential her-own-person woman,
mad to you, sane to those who truly know
everyone who ever did anything notable was a bit odd
Columbus thinking the world was round? That was crazy.
The inventions of iron, incubator and vacuum – insanity
never question the importance of a little lunacy.
