Chair

            While I was in the asylum /metal institution (Clinton Valley Michigan) I was forced to paint the simplest of things like my chair, I didn't realize at the time how bizarre it looked until the next morning,it was perhaps because of all the different drugs they were pumping into me, I have no idea what were their names or even how to pronounce them, all I knew was the way things looked was sometimes enjoyable and other times frightening,While the doctors told me I couldn't paint after lights out,I still manage to paint sometimes with good results, the thing that really bothers me to this day is I never did get all my paintings back from the staff, which is close to a hundred I would guess.now that Im free from that place of horrors, cured I guess, but I think its more because of budget cuts the institution has since closed ,and now I'm on the streets with a small apartment that I share with spiders and other creepy things that eat my flesh at night while I try to sleep on a bed with nightmares still tearing me every which way but loose,everything is good as long as I have my paints, more asylum paintings to come, take care Steve H. p.s. Carl Jung said that it was his duty as a psychologist to help men of genius to keep their neuroses. That’s fine for the psychologist, and fine for the world that revels in the stuff that geniuses come up with. But is it quite so jolly for the genius, and his dear ones? hell if I know. just be happy your not locked up being observed.
