Blackholes and Revelations

When one can't stand another, it is time to separate ourselves from those who are degrading to our lives in all aspects. As such, a skip is imminent.

_____

A boy skips rope in school.

The rope goes north and he goes to fool.

The rope goes south and he goes to school.

Up his imagination goes; down reality drains.

Until he becomes a madman.

"I may never believe

These antique fables, nor these fairy toys.

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,

Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend

More than cool reason comprehends.

The lunatic, the lover and the poet

Are of imagination all compact:

One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,

That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic,

Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt:

The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,

Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;

As imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen"
