how I express my dementophobia fear of insanity
am I crazy then?
I look at the doctor
what could I say to influence his decision?
Would it be better to not say a word?
or better to chatter my heart out?
Insanity looks insane, my soul says in a stern way
my soul sometimes gets irritated with my self-talk
this cannot be normal
right?
The doctor asks if I have any questions.
Will questions help me look less sane
or..
if I ask questions, will they hospitalize me?
They do not hospitalize insane people, any more my self-talk says
she gives me a kick in my right ankle.
I yell “OW!” a bit too loudly.
The doctor’s eyes bubble up.
Am I insane or just creative?
What is the difference really?
