crazy

they say that if you
worry that you are
going crazy
that you aren't

but I don't know
about that;

I stare at the little patch of ground,
and wonder how many worms
lie just beneath the surface;

the robin is pondering
the same question,
except she finds out:
three;

I look at my pen,
and wonder how many words
clog its tiny arteries,
and then I pick it up,

and start to find out.
