“Don’t underestimate the mentally ill. We know how to count” Joon, from “Benny and Joon”

To speak in metaphors
That reveal the beauty of a crooked throne in the house of doubt
The artful way you play along with the music that is always there
But many choose not to hear
Or are too consumed by consequential distractions of their destruction that they cannot
Inspire who love, to love more
To hear the insects
To be intrigued by the aura of a street light
Burry this jealousy
Turn to Autumn leaves
Carry away on a cold breeze
I can’t escape you
This middle ground we’ve stumbled across
Is not easy to sustain
