The Deaf Mute Autistic and Mad (till she can't be labelled any further) girl

She ran with 
the wind,
hair streaming
behind
a
cascade of 
silk
her heart beating
fast
for no known reason
dashing
against 
walls
colliding
with
pillars

life's
energy 
exploding
forth
in
a glorious
random 
outburst
of exuberance

She 
was 
also known 
to smile
at 
strangers
(a dangerous
thing 
to do - she 
was  cautioned)

Laughing
her head  
off
at every 
sentence
she would
brush
caution 
away

pat 
a stray dog
and 
walk 
about 
barefoot

Frowning
people
shake
their heads
in collective
consternation

Wagging
fingers
and
tongues
never
deterred her
and 
she smiled
sweetly
for 
all 
to see

her 
insanity.
