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.
