Spare Time in the Psycho Hospital

Buahrangers Revetment: Poety and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. Pahl and friends

We’re just sitting here and talking about the joys of life
Making jokes and telling tales and laughing with delight.
The creases on our foreheads and the lines around our eyes
Are changed to rays of sunshine as we put aside our woes.

So the sadness and the anger and the wrongs we feel right now
Can be replaced with a little effort by sensations of great joy.
