Madness

When B.H. told me he was mad
I wasn’t sure what he meant
So I asked if he referred to
Angry or crazy
He wrote a poem by way of explanation
Stating that he was mad
Because people said he was mad
Which made him even madder
I told him I could see
That this was both kinds of mad
At the same time
Which made him less mad
By which I mean more happy
But not less of the other
