Notes About The Poem

The Definition of Insanity

("Something or Nothing", 2024, original encaustic)

The Definition of Insanity…

All so angry, all so lost
Trying to find their place in the world

Is this you, is this me
Does it matter since that's how it’s always been?

And so it builds again
Wave after wave breaking with the tide

While Earth spins and Sun shines,
And the children play with sand
