"From where I sit it ain't that bad," is what she said to me on the downtown local train
"You've got two arms and legs, and it sure looks like you've got enough to eat
So why are you looking so damned pained?"
She looked normal enough
Must have a little bit touched, but not completely insane
She could pass for competent like I could pass for satisfied
Neither of us was going to play that game
"You're a privileged white boy
You'll always have a home
Sure, you don't talk that good
But you've got a life to live, and you will live it
You should
You've got no reason to be so unhappy"
