a plea for sanity in 80 words
Help!!!!!
by jim vecchio
I hear their words.
“He’s out of his mind!” “He’s cracked up!”
Who wouldn’t go bazooey with all that has happened?
I feel like a monkey in one of those…things, you know.
“Do this,” they tell me. “Do that!”
“Make that decision…now!!!”
I lost my marbles a couple of times. Who wouldn’t?
Try to live in my world awhile.
I do my best. They gang up on me, always!
Please help me. I can’t remember.
What was that Nuclear Code?
