Analysis of Tap Tap
have you ever walked the line
between sanity and insanity?
have you ever lived among the insane?
I have....
I was uneasy most of the time
when the times were easy
I did not converse with the insane much
it was mainly listening and learning
it is amazing what you can learn
when talking ceases
trying to determine the logical and illogical
but who am I to accomplish this?
it will be understood
when the walk is walked
away from muffled voices
whispering through the air
the comprehension of insanity
the fundamentals of thought
incrementals and deviations
mad is mad
