***BIO*** Paul Hellweg wishes he were as full of life as Celine and as confident as Hemingway. He's not, but at least he's not as suicidal as Chatterton.

Why do people not go insane?

by Paul Hellweg

It takes intelligence
            sensitivity
            empathy
            and
            compassion
to go insane,
and as I type these words
I'm not there yet,
but I'm working on it,
for I would prefer that
to the other.
