The Mad Truth (re-worked)
Mad mash-up of thought and actions
cloaked with a word: episode.
Call it what it was---
a fuckin' meltdown.
Try staying up for 3 days,
running your mouth overtime,
agitated, obsessing over bullshit.
See if understanding greets your episode.
The Holy Bible of Madness--- the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,
Fifth Edition---isn't the Word.
It too is a mad mash-up--- of notes compiled by a committee.
Diagnoses stretch like my ass on Seroquel---
Dysthymia, Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety Disorder,
until the jury returns its verdict--- Bipolar Disorder, type I,
with all the trimmings.
And when the two poles meet, a "mixed state."
Best watch the fuck out.
A civil tongue? Sorry friend, a civil war
of brain parts has its casualties.
