Weird thinker of weird thoughts


 

I remember that I like Hawaiian Pizza, sweet Pineapple slammed into spicy pepperoni's place

I remember thinking weird thoughts, like is pepperoni upset that I prefer pineapple?

I remember that a weird thinker of weird thoughts is often forced to think alone

at lunch 

after school

I remember being alone. But I also remember friends

I remember the hall 160 gang, A group of weird thinkers thinking weird thoughts 

that I helped to found

I remember I didn't care what everyone thought

I remember that it was OK to be insane because there were other people to be insane with

I remember that things got better and the eventually they didn't call me a weird thinker of weird thoughts

I remember the first time they called me a great thinker of great thoughts 

I remember the endless planes of my mind are a gift, 

not the curse I once thought it was

I remember that the bad always ends, and that the good always stretches into infinity     

Or at least it does for weird thinkers of weird thoughts who thought to keep moving forward despite the lies

I remember they told.
