I woke up mad
mad about life
mad about moon light
fault and tower make me mad
climate change makes me mad
madness seeping into every crack
cracked up to be filled with more bits of mad
madness piled high in caterwauling heaps
madhatter styling and stacking up
racked up with regrettable arsenic
cracked up with forgettable mercury
sneezing powders and beaver felt
all that resounding chemical madness
hounding mad allergic feelings
mad reeling and rap gangster love
a mix of berated and hateful things
awash in all those rapid river trials
a mad rabid dash up beaver trails
failed muskrat love and moonlight mistakes
all those mad trapper tales
so many mad otter daydreams
all those mad earth dams
damming mad sacred streams
fabled Sable and Sea Otter
cooped and cradled in snug lodges
stodgy mugs during mad sleep
I'm stooped with this august mug
drooped and shaken by fool madness
challenged by hooded nightmares it seems
a sky of glad stars mistaken for sparks of sadness
divine sanity and riveting gravity prevails
rank galaxies shrouded by fickle vanity
blank questions about proud love
visions of whimsical trinket quests
bleached coral and not one fish before I wake
strictly a mad headless universe
stretched foreskins and mad nervous tics
love's wretched kisses and mad trickster hips
snail slime and crazy arachnid love
brazen bits and sated stuff
a ruff of virgin grass and leaves
snuffed and dying complacent
strange trials of blazing colour
a tie dye contingent
enough rough changes
confused by mad flutter
a buzzing Queen Bee of hearts
a mad flitting hive
those fitting crazed madhatters
mad cities of lively drones
gritty workers with bees knees
buzzed lives with honey foundations
confused by sweet beelines
truthful smatterings
vines along a perfumed sweet pea way
disillusioned by scent and shattered tribal sanity
tattooed arthropods experimenting randomly
a battered slough of inked invertebrates
computing solar ether
feeding lethal fire in the raging Amazon
all that crafted carbon
smoky drafts and CO2
either or either
inventing selfless being
sent by acidic ocean streams
Pacific ocean dreams and a disappearing shell game
specifics defining algae and krill
succinctly the same
so much elemental wisdom
measured by fukushima shame
redefining distinctive organisms
instinctively maligned aliens
repainting the colour of the world
roiling in a hurricane ocean tide
toiling in this moiling radioactive ride
so much crude emotional madness
those bitchin' in vogue standup comics
dressed in pressed fervent plaid
servants and insurgents addressed the same
soundly redressing mad crowds
a depressing fad of mad everything
a regression of sad battle jokes
gesticulating across a divisive crevasse
a restless bass and subtle sounds
echoing shockwaves abound
virtually the same
steep terrain and steady rain
gravity's groundless vanity
physics and mass insanity
strange virile bugs
unrestrained in fabled realms
towering yowlers lurching toward a sad helm
yearning howlers screeching a shower of mad refrains
mad growlers stitched and beseeched
madly divested and madly arrested
such a choked mad mess
mad scientists stroked with the same mad feather
unrestrained games in their mad dash together
madly walking another checkered songline
we'll wake mad to more dreamtime weather
mad again as sad morning came
all aboard all aboard
all aboard this mad runaway train
