Saw a Man: Loony [3:24]:
 
saw a man rocking with his his head in his hands he was moaning just as loud as his lungs would allow he didn't seem to care that it was not polite to holler so he didn't seem to know he was supposed to shut up. the doctors kept trying to comfort and calm him the orderlies were groping for their tranquilizer guns they didn't seem to see he had no recourse in the matter his only hope was to yell louder than he could think. so i said: go man go i'm with you man i know what you're saying i know how you feel i'd join you but i'm afraid i'm kind of busy right now. saw a man screaming at a telephone pole he waited for an answer then he screamed at it some more he seemed to feel very strongly about whatever it was that he was saying blood foam and robitussin spraying from his lips. people rushed right past him they couldn't seem to see him i couldn't move or close my mouth i couldn't help but stare i felt my hands start twitching something in me started seething as he lurched into the street and started tearing off his clothes. so i said: go man go i'd join you but i'm afraid i'm kind of on my way to work. go man go while i romanticize the hell from which you're trying to escape.
