She Is Crazy and Weird

Sheba had that twirly whirly jumpy bumpy personality That told you she was either a Gemini or on drugs I am a Gemini, and on drugs, so I recognized her right away Others steered clear of her, using monikers like Crazy, weird, unusual, off-the-chain, strange. That is why I ran toward her and made her a friend right away Sheba had grown up in a carnival, learning to read tarot cards I love tarot cards; I have tried to read them but They always end up reading me…. I had grown up in a strict clean house with a mother Who dragged us to church six times a week And Sheba thought that was charming…. Sheba had a host of people raise her – the fat woman, the thin man, The mustached woman, the bearded women, lots of women. She was used to ignoring orders from everyone…. I had grown up with a drill sergeant of a mother who expected us to jump hard and fast, so I was used to lots of belt whippings….. Sheba and I had not grown up in the same way at all, but we clicked immediately, understanding that we had all kinds of things in common Possibly because we are both crazy, weird, unusual, off-the-chain, and wonderfully strange.

Don't be that modest. This is a special poem. I know it runs through your blood, so you don't see the brightness of the shine.
