Beyond the madness of the world is
the truest madness one can ever see
in this woman
who prays to God that he help her stop talking
to someone, she complains, who never talks back to her.
And then, God has a question– what makes her continue?
She says that in the bath, in the kitchen, and on the beach,
she talks to that someone whenever she is alone,
and there is never a response different from what she thinks it would be.
And God says, what ? Have you been talking in your mind?
She says, Yes.
