From: Edgar Allan Poe Fordham Hospital Ward for the Incurably Insane:
I believe I wish you greet you with cheer of some sort. But I've forgotten why? Why are squirrels singing? Why is my brain is made of gorgonzola? Can you bring a hammer and file and come get me out of this straight jacket?? Why do they think I’m paranoid? I am not paranoid!!
