Marbles

I sometimes wonder

What must it be like

To be mad?

To be trapped eternally

Inside your own mind

With no hope of escape?


I sometimes wonder

What does it mean

When someone says that you've

"Lost your marbles"?


What are marbles,

If not minds of their own?


Swirls of coloured pigments,

Trapped eternally,

In a small, beautiful,

Fragile glass bead.
