Idea

Ryan Baker

Free verse
They heckle him
For his insane ideas
They shout “fool” “insane”
While he just stands there
Smiling
Knowing his ideas just aren’t the norm
They are more efficient than any other similar idea
But as they keep shouting “fool” “insane”
He just stands there and continues smiling
He is asked why he is smiling
He just responds with “I’m the sanest on in the room”
