Punk Show, a Brian Looney chapbook
Sane to a Small Degree

Brian Looney

    We’re all insane to some degree. And everyone at this venue, including me, is only sane to a small degree.

    The sounds of chaos and adrenaline, the uncertainty and frustration. It is there in discordance, and it will be there when society crumbles.

    I see it when the music plays. The toting smokes, and the lost fortunes. The cracking streets, and the dirty beggars. Fascist submission, and the collapse of reason. Lies and denial on every screen.

    We’ll be there, at the height of the bedlam: hard, human and intelligent. We are survivalists, and we’ll hold our own when society bucks, when the resources dwindle. We are toughening up and have grown calloused with anticipation.

    Our anger brings us balance. We’ll retain it while the homeowners cower behind their drapes. We’ll stare straight into the dancing fire’s eyes, burning purer than it.
