Madness and Genius

[Devoid of Orbit]

Madness and Genius:
My coming out party!

There I was watching cartoons after Saturday’s breakfast
A restless 6 year old, playing with wrestlers, staging their entrances
Crazy inventiveness manifested when I was on my own
Which was often, I had no siblings for playing pretend shit with
Daily my stress would lift to levels exceeding the average kid
It was mainly my parent’s lack of marriage I had clashes with
But anyway, I only bring that up to set some context
For what I’m about to drop next, cause’ it’s all true, I promise

“Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen to our main event
King Kong Bundy versus Hulk Hogan”

Once the cage was set

They started fighting for the title with the help of my hands
And the chants that the fictional crowd yelled from the stands
All was well until my vision changed from wide to tunnel-like
Something like a pinhole camera, except without the muffled light
Instead it fluttered brightly in a multi-colored hue
With a deep saturation; this had peaked my fascination till
Suddenly, in my hand, the form of Hogan grew translucent
And there stood a being, whose features, till this day, remain elusive
A strange confusion began to envelope my brain
Infusion of carnival music started to blare with its startling movements
Partially lucid but also partially hushed by the sound of squealing
From above, I looked up and saw gray spots abound on the ceiling
Peeling off of like dry skin; melting away like heated plastic
I blinked my eyes but soon realized, there was no seeing past it
When I looked back at the being, he started speaking rapidly
Repeating himself until his voice sounded like a squeaking mattress
He proceeded to spin into a blur, and then dissolve into space
Along with the music and colors; my vision returned all the way
‘The Hulkster’ was back in hand, and with all of his patience
He retained his world title via disqualification

“Amazing folks, Bobby the Brain has cost Bundy the title
Thanks for tuning in, join us again for another bloody recital”

So you’re reading this

Probably thinking, “damn this dude’s off his rocker”
Yet, this has BEEN on my mind, but before, I’d choose not to offer
I guess I worried that my friends and family might abandon me
If I admitted that I had temporarily lost my sanity
Regardless of why I chose to keep it all concealed like a knife
I swear on my eyes, I’ve never felt something so real in my life
I saw the patterns on the ceiling and the being in my grasp
I heard his voice, all of the squealing and squeaking was brash
It didn’t bug me at the time, I enjoyed the hallucination
But as I grew a bit older, I yearned for more elucidation
What I studied was schizophrenia, a violent hell, pretty much not
The most comforting thought when you’re of sound mind and health
My family’s history suggests that I have nothing to fear
But it’s hard for me to come to peace with something so weird
Something so random, something that only a few have experienced
Beyond the context of drugs or a mental illness we take so serious

With all of that said, you think whatever you wish
I’m still that cat you know who comes up with the cleverest shit
Then again, they say that madness and genius are one in the same
What if the genius struck first and the madness is coming to claim
Its place on the top of the summit, much to that being’s great delight?
Ah whatever, I’m just playing, I mean, I’m not really crazy…right?
