I walk a tightrope between heaven and earth
between breathing in and breathing out.
If not for the conversations with the madman in my head
I'd have no conversations at all.
I wish he'd get some friends or change the record.
I'm tired of hearing all the time that I'm a loser.

I think evil thoughts like killing this madman
I'd administer slow torture and then death.
But, then I'd have no one at all.
How would I face the world with no guiding hand
even though it leads me on to destruction.
That is the question to end or, not to end.

Maybe, I could think of an alternative.
Perhaps there is a self-help book just for me.
A book with all the answers,
A book that could instruct and guide me through life.
I'll check the internet, Amazon.com.
It may be there in My Recomendations.

Jeepers, why didn't I think of that before?
The answers must be must be out there in the ether,
floating, just waiting to latch on to
someone like me. Amazon suggests the book
An Island to Oneself, unfortunately,
it was wtitten in the '50's, not applicable.

I'll just have to keep looking and keep reading.
Where there is a question, sooner or later
an answer will arise from an
unexpected place. Amazon recommends
1000 Pin-Up Girls. Perhaps this will keep
me occupied until the real thing comes along.
