"Maybe no one's really crazy. Everyone is just a little bit mad. How much depends on where you fall in the spectrum. How much depends on how lucky you are." - Joshua Walters

I wonder what she saw
when she looked into my eyes
as I held fists tight by my side

I know
sure as hell
what I saw
in hers

Veins as red and intense
as a ferocious wildfire

Eyes beady enough to be strung
along a rich old woman’s neck
