Call Me Crazy (Again)

 

I’m feeling magnanimous and philanthropic today.


I have the urge to give something of value away.


Most days I feel like waxing poetic or philosophical.


That’s when the great thoughts and words come to


mind.



That of course is my personal opinion when I get


to thinking pretentiously, and considering myself


in such a conceited and self-centered way. Call me

a narcissist on those days when my grandiosity takes


control of me.



Then there are those days when hypochondria sweeps


over me, and my aches turn me into my own grandiose


Pain in the Ass. My God folks, how many personalities


are involved in the makeup of me?




Professional psychological analysis might indicate


a case of schizophrenia is genetically implanted in


me. I do feel flushed with fragmentation and a bit


woozy from time to time. Perhaps I didn’t get enough


sleep last night or recently ate something which meta-


bolically disagreed with me.



Likely, I’ve been guilty of watching too much TV.


Couldn’t be Alzheimer’s, I am grateful to say. I


would have never found the words to describe how


I feel as me most days.



Some will claim, I’m plain crazy. Could be any


one or all of these which have taken possession


of me. And other than the rhyming of last few


lines in this diatribe of mine, it surely would


not be considered as a work of poetry.
