I know that you are crazy

Crazy as a loon

Crazy as a loon on Spencer Pond

The one who somersaulted off the rock

And splashed a feeding moose

Into submission

You are crazy

Since we were kids

Since the time you pushed me over a cliff

Into the quarry near Old Lyme-

I still have a scar from the fall

Yet you embellished your crazy

Sending out postcards announcing and then denouncing it

Making us all think that you had it all together

Arriving in adulthood

With milk white eyes

Like a cow gone mad

We have all seen you crazy

Ran from you when you came calling

Late at night

Or those early morning chats you tried to

Have on our cell phones

We have all gotten together

And taken a pledge

Never to allow your craziness

To bring us to our knees

Or put wind into our sails

And set us off course
Ever again.
