SANITY

AT 8 YRS OLD I LOOKED AROUND AND DETERMINED THE WORLD WAS INSANE.  I HAD TO HIDE MY SANITY OR I'D BE SINGLED OUT AND CRUCIFIED. 

SO I DIDN'T LIVE MUCH.  AND MY AUTISM MADE STAYING CONSCIOUS DIFFICULT.  I'D SENSORY OVERLOAD SO FREQUENTLY.  IT MADE ME UNTOUCHED BY THE RAMPANT NONSENSE.  I FOUND A WAY TO INSULATE MY SANITY FROM THE RAVAGES OF THE CROWD.

SUNDAY NIGHT I TOSSED AND TURNED UNTIL ABOUT 3:30.  I THINK I WAS REACTING TO THE LAS VEGAS DYING.  LIKE IN 2001 I AWOKE TO SEE THE FIRST TOWER ON FIRE AND TEN MINUTES LATER WITNESSED THE SECOND TOWER AND SECOND AIRLINER.
