I SAW HORSES RUN

there 
is 
no 
joy 
in objectivity

a 
place to visit
but
antiseptic

anyway we're Crazy People
and
must
fall down one side of the fence 
sooner 
or 
later - for our Health

either
into brown quagmire
or 
beds of bluebells

Crazy People
arent
built
for
elevated splinters of denial and indecision
or
nervous
false
superiority
