He ate flowers.
this mentally challenged boy
from the countryside
I used to watch him
in the fields
when I visited my grandparents

Sometimes my head is in the clouds...
Other times my head is in the sand...
Sometimes my thoughts are so jumbled up...
I feel I’m sinking in some far off hinterland...

Our each sandcastle.
Life contains a measured beat;
We need to accept all;
Freedom has a deep seat,
As we're given the call.

His thoughts going into a strange spasm...
His bruised ego triggered a chasm...

It’s hard to control my thinking...

It’s as if my wires are completely crossed...
The mind games that steal me away...
