An angst poem from 1976!
In the social life there are
No rules of thumb
You simply must be born to be
Quite suddenly dropped
Down
To the side
To be visibly forgotten
Before you're ever noticed.
And if you cut yourself
On the broken glass of their laughter
Remember this: it's just a laugh,
Then look back and bid them all adieu.
Cry out and laugh at all the pain
And though it sometimes creeps up fast,
Never mind
The rain
The rain
The rain.
