Bells

Bells!

There was the sound of bells

I don't know where it came from
or whether it was up or down
all I know is what I'm hearing is surley not a drum.
I heard bells damn it!
At first they were beside me
then above me, then below
I couldn't really see them
But I heard them, or did I
I don't know?
Whatever thing was ringng

seemed bent on my destruction

for hearing all and seeing none

was not conducive to my function.

After a second day of this

and then a third, and then a fourth

I made my mind up to ignore it

and it worked if I was walking north.

But I was walking southbound

with bells ringing in my head

so I tried walking backwards

but that filled me with great dread.

Once walking round in circles

seemed to silence all the bells

falling down a lot however

felt like slipping into hell.

I also found that lying down

would clear my mind completely

but traveling upon my bed

was not accomplished neatly.

Then I found the answer

it was hiding in my brain

flying high above the clouds

kept me unseen and not insane.

So now I put my cape on

and got comfortably unseen

I try to fly around the world

wearing my suit of pink and green.

Then the bells do all stop ringing

and my head isn't so hazy

and I can stay in bed a while

cause sometimes flying makes me crazy.
