true crazies

the earth
is a
looney bin

roofless
like a
stadium

no one
is sane

especially
the ones
who try
to save
it

who think
things
matter

these are
the true
crazies

saving
humanity
is like
giving a
skeleton
cpr

you’re better
off memorizing
the rbi’s
of every player
in the
american league

& rememeber
even in
baseball
a sacrifice
does not
count as
a hit
