In Sanity

My eyes are going bad
Let's draw color with crayons
What's that you say?
Run into walls and let the color explode in our heads?
Merge into one and a half and understand that the full value is two
Drift into an amorphous shape
Scare the children with the moans and screams from the other rooms
My ears are going bad
Let's bang pots and pans by throwing glass bottles
What's that you say?
Fall backwards and travel into outer space?
Collide into three and understand that the full value is two
Haunt the corners of the room
Snarl at the cats walking by the alleyways and streets
My nose is going bad
Let's throw popcorn and bananas into the oven and turn it on
What's that you say?
Jump into the sky and drink milk?
Stay as two and understand that two is the full value
Open the book of shadows and figures
Pick one out and tell me what it's about
My taste is going bad
Let's mush together brussel sprouts and ice tea and see what it makes
What's that you say?
Answer the blender and turn on the dark?
Be alone and understand that there are still two
Flip through the flashing lights and pick a blur
Breathe trees and snort flowers and swallow dirt
My touch is going bad
Let's roughly, tentatively reach our hands into swirling blades
What's that you say?
Shoot frogs with rubber bands and watch them gaze into the sea?
Two is always the value and understanding that that's all there will be
Panicking in strange and exotic situations
Jamming fingers into small crevasses of brick and mortar, still soft

Everything is going bad
Let's silently wait for it to come
What's that you say?
Never mind.
Two is always going to be the number
No more, no less
