The psychiatrist snickered br And he told me a joke. br Little did I know, br This one would make me choke. br br It explained every problem br I had ever come across, br Every emotion ever felt, br Every suppressed desire br And every loss. br br I found myself smiling, br Smiling to snickering, br Snickering to laughing out loud, br My eyes bold and proud. br br Then from laughing br To snickering, br Snickering to smiling, br My eyes flickering. br Smiling to laughing, br Laughing to weeping, br Weeping to crying, br Crying to bawling, br Tragic and wild. br Then I realised br I was really just laughing br At my epiphany br With an upside-down smile.br br K.
