Just as Sane as Me
The Man Who Sold the World 1970

Cara Losier Chanoine

I sing with impertinence,
my instinct still emotes it.
My reputation swept back home
in drag,
and they told me I can blow
to the far side of town,
just my Librium and me.

My prayers were small and yellow,
for I realized that God’s a young man, too,
and we’re just taller children
with minds too green.
So softly a supergod cries.

In the corner of the morning
in the past,
the thin men stalk the streets—
gloomy-browed with supertears—
and I slash them cold
because my logic says “burn,”
because the morals of their magic spell
negotiate my hide,
will do me harm.

Dark and grim,
a nation hides its organic minds
in a cellar.
The sane stay underground
and I’d rather stay here
with all the madmen.
We’re painting our faces
and dressing in thoughts.
I promote oblivion,
and they’re all as sane as me.

He told us his scheme for a savior machine
while we spoke of was and when,
and plague seems quite feasible now.
There’s no death for perfect men;
they’re guardians of a loveless isle,
and the savior machine
seems quite feasible now,
while they’re gloomy-browed with supertears,
while we’re painting our faces
with the morals of their magic spell,
while a nation hides its organic minds
at our secretive ball
of strange, mad celebration.
