Цитата сообщения Рейнеке
If I Played My Life.
стихотворение, написанное женщиной, больной шизофренией.
If I Played My Life
If I played my life on the viola
I'd scratch and pull
My smooth hair bow
Into tuneless, hopeless
Twentieth century
Disjointed, squealing
Painful music.
I'd play two types -
On and off pills.
On - long notes and sad,
Dreary low notes,
Wasting sounds.
Off medication,
I'd play the roof off
With angry short bursts
Blistering the paint
Like a sailor's language
Lit with liquor.
Music from high notes
Arpeggios down, down
To unmoving rests.
Elizabeth MacDonell
