Lunacy

One day soon 
Like a monkey on a spoon
I shall drink myself a tot of rum and declare myself a loon
Then slowly go a dancing
Empty in my heart
Leaping and a singing 
Through the silent inert dark

A smashing through the streets I’d go
Crying all the time 
My head would break
My eyes fall out
I’d be mad you know
Mad and horror sublime.
