Life's Little Surprise



We see the world for what it is.
No self delusion is possible
If the middle eye is focused,
Unless God has a sense of humor.

My volunteer work with the rehabilitation center
Gave me a feeling of self worth.
As chairman of the board
My primary task was to keep the program funded.

I gained much insight
Into the minds of the self destructive
Young men and women housed
In this full time existential program.

Two miles and ten light years from the Center
I answered my front door’s chime.
A thin girl, perhaps 14, asked for my 15 year old son.
She wished to buy some “dope”.
