A man once lost his mind
and because of him – many others did.
He bolted over a stubble field into the wide world,
far from his madmen,
he could no longer stand.
In a dark forest, alone at last,
He sat on a stump and started to think.
The devil snuck behind him, tapped him
on his head, spat in his ear.
The man spun around, saw no one,
only a rabbit dash across a clearing.
