A chapter in the book I Choose Rainbows

Conversation with a Mad Man

by sholessjo


Hey
You did it again
You're like a shadow
Here one minute
Gone the next
I need you man
You're the only one who knows

Knows what
I ain't no philosopher
And I certainly ain't no genius
Why don't you go away and leave me alone

I can't
I'm so mixed up
I'm fine one minute
And then the next minute I get some kind of chemical reaction
And something strange goes haywire in the old noodle
Everything turns black
I'm a frugin yoyo
High one sec and down the next

Ok ok
Shut the F--- up
What do you want to know

I want to know the secret to serenity

Serenity
Now that's a good one
I don't think anyone
Not even Freud knows what that is

But Sigmund is the Arch Angel of mental healing
He's got to know

Who says so
He spent most of his time in crisis reading books
The rest of his time he spent writing gibberish
With mystical and mythical answers
And he still had to write some more

What are you saying then

Look into that messed up mind of yours

Is the answer in me

Hell know
No one knows what true serenity is
There's pills
There's drugs
People pop them over and over again
They drink whiskey and Grey Goose
And get hammered into Utopia
But when it's over
It's over
And it's back to reality

So what you're saying is that there is no such thing as permanent serenity

You got it daddio

Then what should I do

Well, the first thing you got to do is quit bugging me
I'm as loony as you are
And the second thing you gotta do
Is relax with the game plan

What game plan
I'm not playing football here

Hey stupo
Don't take everything so seriously
So what if you're not King of the Hill
So what if some dimwit kids laughed at you 60 years ago
You're a big boy now
Grow up

You really want to know the difference between you and me

Yes master
Tell me
Please

Ok
But don't consider this fatherly advice
I got too many flaws to be your dad

Ok already
What is the answer

Simple man
Go with the flow
Take the wave and ride it till you fall
Then get up
And ride it again
The tides of time will show you the way
And you will get to where you're gonna go
Only smile
Smile while you're heart is breaking
Smile even though you're faking
Smile and soon
The sun will come shining through

God oh God
You the man
That is the answer
Bad turns into good
A bummer becomes a hummer
Go with the flow
Just give it a shake and enjoy the good times
The rest will take care of itself
And when you feel bad
Take a snooze
Cause when you wake up
The sun'll be shining through
Remember
Temporary insanity
Temporary serenity
That's it in a bagga nuts
Gotta go
Wife's calling

Wait
When will I see you again
