Mad Girl's Love Song

"Mad Girl's Love Song" is the title of my favorite Sylvia Plath poem. Yes, I was one of those young women who was moved beyond words by Plath's writings. I got over it.

Not to say that she wasn't a great voice for women. She was.

I loved the lines,

"I shut my eyes and the world dropped dead,
I think I made you up inside my head."

I still love those lines but for different reasons than before. Sometimes all of the circuits in my head are jammed and I just need to disappear for a few minutes. I find all sorts of ways to go to my alternate universe - where I can regroup.

I have a friend who can power nap. Wish I could...

Shut my eyes and have the world drop dead - for a few minutes.
