~Of Passion and Insanity

A loony sat beside me

I bolted straight right up!

And slid my butt away—

an inch after a careful inch

—-

But he sat there, oblivious

Singing like a pro

I didn’t move a muscle

Oh no, I wouldn’t dare!

—-

But how he beats to his own creation

Of gibberish tone and words

He masterfully uttered every syllable

Not a care to the staring world

—-

When he left

I still sat—dumbfounded

I should have remembered his stink

Or the assumed saliva on my hair

—-

Instead I remember his unique melody;

His palpable, transparent passion.

I slowly smiled to myself

And, amused, admired the carefree sun

Note: This really happened to me. I was riding a jeepney to work when this amazing incident happened. :)
