the voice of delusion

Posted on 25/12/2022 by Nightpoet

“You know that voice you hear inside your head when you think that

God or Jesus is talking personally to you? Well it’s the same voice

that people hear when they think that aliens are contacting them

or that the Devil is telling them to do something. It is the voice of delusion…”

CATMADNESS

Posted on 05/02/2021 by Nightpoet

Back in the 1970’s, when I was living and working in Virginia,

a friend came to work one morning and told me a story

about his cat, his girlfriend and a squeaky brass bed.

The cat kept thinking that he was hearing a mouse

and would come into the bedroom to investigate.

His story inspired this poem.
