Gung ho! Did you know
an ice breaker is a ship
with a knife all up the front
that will cut the crap out of icebergs?
So like I said,
Antarctica. Remember?
Anyway, I am really going.
Because, I realised,
there is too much bliss in the world
and I've got to freeze it out
or I will explode.
I can ride in the towering grey ice breaker,
and the frozen sea will be ripped apart,
and there will be only penguins
[it's easier that way] and maybe the rare
sea lion or elephant seal.
There is no one to share all this
sparkling glory with, all this nonsensical
delight and play, and I need to get
out of here and find a place that
matches my heart. Not because I am frozen,
but because I am gleaming to blindness.

Which is exactly what my schitzophrenic aunt
told us she was thinking, right before
she jumped out the window of her room,
and fell two stories and broke her leg.
She got shock therapy for her troubles,
but nobody will ever catch me acting crazy.
Nope. Not me. No sireee!!!

sanity and insanity? Anyways,
I don't know if there are any
children anymore. Maybe they
went out of fashion."
