"It could be worse for you",

he said. "Why, there are
stick children in Africa
being inspected
by vultures, as if they
were lobsters in a
seafood restaurant
aquarium.
There are people
praying to be released
from the agony of their last
withered hours.
Right now, two parents
are holding their lifeless
ragdoll daughter,
and there is an old man
forgotten and rotting
in a sunless corner of
an infested nursing home.

Cheer up."
