Bonkers Crazy Stupid Poem


I am bonkers in the timeless kind of way.

A VHS replayed over and over until distorted.

It is too bad that it is always the favorite part that dies first.

Stretched and morphed until no longer of any use.

Left to collect dust on a shelf out of immediate sight.

Maybe it can be fixed eventually.

***

I am crazy in the way that still has method.

Impulse thrown to the wind.

I know what I am doing, but care has left the building.

Consequences mine alone.

Ready to handle everything that comes my way.

At least, until regret is in the review mirror.

***

I am stupid in the stubborn way.

Throwing myself at the same problem over and over again.

Hoping that the result will be different eventually.

All I have to do is persist longer than the problem.

Does not matter if I never change my tactic.

The solution must appear eventually.
