the doctors say
he's crazy
that his thoughts
are not really there
so they feed him
beautiful color
coated poisons
and force him to meet
twice a week
with the neatly dressed woman
therapist
who violates his
fragile intricate mind

all he wants to do
is play
play his trumpet
in the park for hours
while the squirrels
stand up straight
with their hands to their face
to mimic him
he's from another
world bursting with
meaning
let him be
he's not crazy

you all are!
