CURIOUS CREATURE
A horribly misshapen freak
once came up to me
and said, "You seem down.
Why don't you cheer up?"
I asked him how
he could be so chipper,
disgustingly malformed and all,
and he shrugged
and said, "You just gotta decide
to be happy.
"You gotta have faith."
And I nodded
and I smiled
and I walked away
taking his words with me
and I promptly discarded them
at the next trash heap
as I went about my misery.
After all
what did he
a hideous monster
know about happiness?
