Looking Out

Charles l Porter 1953 (Lansing, mi)

please excuse the pencil
Don’t allow sharp objects here
Could hurt ourselves
And we don’t want to do that
Kindred spirits you know
Kind of feeling safe here
See all the craziness outside
Makes me wonder sometimes
Just maybe some times
Are we the sane ones
And you the insane ones
Think about that one tonight
And sleep well
