You Think He's Mad

You think he's mad.
Walking Thom Street
Keeping his balance
with his burdens
from Capitalist America's
Number One Superstore.
He's swatting the invisible.
You think he's mad.
Physically dodging
the intangible.
The buzzing minutes thrash his hands
instead of his jerking head
or his fleshy bosom.
You think he's mad,
but he has the right idea.
More than emotionally dodging the minutes.
To this virtuoso ,
Time is tangible,
and he's managed to avoid it
and remain a lamb.
