in the beginning
everyone said she was crazy
a crazy girl
stay the fuck away from that one
she was off doing her own thing
all the time
like she was creating some way
of enjoying herself
she was trying to build a bunker
to prepare for the shit storm
stay the fuck away from that one
but I’ve never been
a very good listener
she was listening to grindcore pop opera
while she was mopping the floor
she was napping beneath
the register counter
and I came to visit her
and honestly
it was pretty quick moving from there
we acknowledged the insanity in one another
we went crazy together
we purchased a potentially fleeting moment together
and sure enough
every day
someone else goes insane
or as an alternate option
they embrace their own breed of
person
we went crazy together
wrapped in folie au deux
the world had more colors
if only it realized it

Is Grindcore Pop Opera a real thing?? Sounds exciting!
Not that I know of, but there is hope!
I especially like the name and the sentiment that we embrace our own breed of crazy.
Thank you! It was originally called “we went crazy together” and I thought Roy G. Biv was too fun to pass up.
