***BIO*** Paul Hellweg has felt his whole life as if he didn’t fit in.  Then a few months ago he discovered a new world of kindred spirits in the poetry universe, both online and at readings throughout the Los Angeles area.  He’s thrilled to have finally found a place where he fits in just fine, sober or otherwise
On Being Normal
by Paul Hellweg
My horoscope for today
says we have to know
what’s not normal
in order to appreciate
what is,
but they got it backwards,
sanity lies in knowing
what’s normal
so we can cherish
all that isn’t,
all that is unique
and different
in each and every one of us,
after all,
once we’re dead,
then
and only then,
will everyone
be exactly the same,
so if fitting in is what you want
you’ll succeed
in the cemetery.
