Nelson Next Friday I will go insane because there's nowhere else to go. Beside myself with rage, I’ll become two people, though I’ll lose my head, running amuck like a wrenched-apart hen. Have I mentioned I’m madly in love? My performance draws raves. Watch me go haywire if touched or break down like an old radio. The vase of my life-water's upset. I fluctuate like a wind sock. Since my bow is warped, I’m wide of the mark by at least seven targets while the winds howl like a woman deranged by the death of the sky. But I don’t want to discomfit anyone, even if I’m the one disturbed. Call me a maniac, go ahead, but I’m really your biggest fan.
