O God, don’t let\u00a0me go nuts,<\/span>
\nbetter to beg in mud and ruts,<\/span>
\nbetter\u00a0endless hunger, movement.<\/span>
\nNot that I like my brain,<\/span>
\nnot that I would disdain<\/span>
\na change therein or improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

If ever they set me loose<\/span>
\n I would become a recluse<\/span>
\n in a forest shadows cloak,<\/span>
\n there, inflamed, to sing or scream<\/span>
\n and let each strange daydream<\/span>
\n go up in whorls like smoke,<\/span><\/p>\n

listen to a crashing wave,<\/span>
\n gaze up at empty heaven\u2019s nave,<\/span>
\n rapt where I stood.<\/span>
\n I would howl, strong and free,<\/span>
\n blow like gusts that rake debris,<\/span>
\n winds that break down wood.<\/span><\/p>\n

What misfortune, to go mad,<\/span>
\n clapped in a cell, in irons clad.<\/span>
\n And then they come to plague you.<\/span>
\nOnce they chain and lock you, Fool,<\/span>
\n some beast in bars to ridicule,<\/span>
\n they come to taunt and egg you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nights you would no longer hear<\/span>
\n birds\u2019 bright songs, nor lend an ear<\/span>
\n as a tree in the cold crackles.<\/span>
\n So cry out, my comrades in chains.<\/span>
\n wake the night-shift with hurricanes<\/span>
\n of shrieks!\u00a0 Shake your shackles!<\/span><\/p>\n
