Gwallgofrwydd

 




I can see the ‘Gwallgofrwydd’ in her eyes

It’s the way she eats mince pies.

 

It’s the way that she cracks walnuts between her thighs.

It’s the way that she pushed me through one of the windows on the Bridge of Sighs.

 

There’s something to be said for ‘Madness’ and for ‘Crazy’

But you couldn’t take a lifetime of it, makes you hazy.

 

Sanity is more important than your name or reputation

You could lose the latter and still make reparation

 

To lose your sanity in an insane world is the worse thing of all

Because you then become like them in their cars and bars

 

Wiping their asses on their Covid Masks

Drinking the vaccine straight from Thermos Flasks

 

Keep your sanity until the day that you die

It’s only then that you’ll find out why

 

You knew from age 11 that life was a lie

That precocious child that played I Spy

 

who saw through the false smiles and silent scream eyes.

Families carried secrets as high as the skies.

 

Something beginning with A?

Asylum, never granted. Only for lunatics.
