She stopped, as laughter faded
Uninterrupted
Proceeded to change topic
She told me to get off
And this
Is the end
Because it’s better to quit then
From that steep incline, I tried to grasp
As my head spins trying to understand
What transpired
But for her
It’s about forcing herself to wake from a dream
Riddled with red flags
Maddening to rely on a forecast
Against the unassuming February sky
When the cool Siberian winds
Let’s you mingle with the warm sun
I learned how crushing craziness felt
Folie is magnified when you have to deal with it alone
On the bus ride home
Outside they were ousting an alcoholic president and to be replaced by a thief
Who was reluctant until all was sure
As a revolution refused to be revolutionary
Because it’s too much hard work
I learned I was crazy all along
Armed with a reinforced belief that all are insane
All the time
Not like mine
