“People don’t deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them.” Louis-Ferdinand Celine
The Only Way
I wanted to scream
to shut them up
but their mouths just ran on
blathering jibber jabber
in irretrievable time now
lost forever in a cloud
of noise that hurt my ears
and dulled my mind,
till I could take no more,
so I opened my own
and climbed in,
it seemed the only way.

Sometimes it is the only way to put an end to the blathering jibber jabbers–loved that line!

You have described the perfect moment where you wish it was acceptable to yell “Shut the f*”k up!”
Well nuanced.

I found this poem frightening. It reminds me of that awful feeling that I’m the only person in the world who isn’t crazy–and the only way is to reason them out of their insanity, but it won’t work.

I get that, it is a bit that way in my mind too, the mindlessness is the terrifying bit.

The curse of my education is that I expect the world to respond to right reason and good sense.
