Ask the Idiots

I don't know anything
about this - and neither
do the doctors . . .

To understand this affliction
you must turn
to the patients
And they sound crazy!

They jabber about an ambush,
the weather, a cloud
from which everything comes

How the sun
has fallen into a black lake
(they point to their chests)

Like children, they laugh
& cry a lot

(All agree) it makes no sense
that before the world
was upside down

And this
is right-side up
