A fine essay indeed, isn't everyone typing stream of conscience by now?The worst is when I get half way through a post only to realize that I had switched keyboard languages a few paragraphs back. Weird is based on your perspective on normal. Normal doesn't truly exist at all.

Yeah whenever I say it... it is tongue and cheek. I love being weird. I like weird people. :)
The @chaospoet account is me also. I occasionally use it when I have an explosion of weird, and I try only to speak with that account in prose or poetry... even in comments. Sometimes I forget I'm on that account and mistakenly type something not in prose or poetry...
This is one of my favorites there and I think explains it:

Thanks for introducing me to your other writings, I'm a big fan of stream of conscious poetry, bleedpoetry was in terms of the words flowing out from the mind to the ink across the page. Typing has slowed me down to more pre meditated lines, though as my bash thumb sprints across the page, I start to conceive that that is starting to change.
it sounds like bleedpoetry is the same thing I've called Chaos Poetry for about 29 years.... just blurting and letting strange things come out of my mouth or out of my mind into written word. Sometimes it can take you to pretty unexpected places. Some days it really sucks and doesn't work at all, but when it works man those are some magical moments. A lot of "where the hell did that come from" when talking to yourself about your own works.
My saving grace to the madness was to punchline at the end, the cynic in me has a wonderful sense of humor😄 It's taken me some dark roads, but also filled me with a purpose, I'm glad to have found you. Look forward to discovering your take on weirdness.
I let the Crazy dude off of his leash when the mood strikes and then he seems to have a run of things for awhile. I can usually feel it kind of bubbling up in me, and there are hints that time may come again soon.
