bi-polar

'bipolar II vision' timothy r gates, 12/30/2008/2018

four year old,

lived, wanted to die

decades later,

more so

spacial vision

hurricane's turmoil,

eye known

tornado's path,

eye leaps

Jackson Pollack,

streams of colours

appear as messes to the 

normal

they claim,

'Any one could do that!'

Van Gogh's hues

Dali's lines

Mary Cassatt's confidence

Lee Krasner's brilliance hidden by her lover

Degas' door to Kadinsky 

Die Brücke

'Starry Starry Night'

bipolar II vision

see the mess, and the

calm

hear the unspoken lines

cacophony of polyphonic 

eight tones, atonal, tonal

inside their intoning

calm before the storm?

Yes.

Within the storm?

Yes, this as well. 

'do you hear what i hear?'

four year old

still lives

grins at the others'

chagrin
