Analysis of The color of normal is black
James Keating 1950 (Sandusky Ohio)
Dark forces of the ill-omened Ghouls and Knaves make me their slave. In the catacombs of my mind, struggle to be free, from this insanity. The bounds of my ominous agony. Carnage of the flesh holocaust of evil dreams forge their way into the black unforgiving waters of my mind to their final resting-place conscious derision and hate, my irreclaimable fate, life's crypt, calamitous normality. Dark forces took my sanity and gave me a creeping, never ending dream. Ferocity of will be still, haunt me no more
