Optimism

Joseph Hart

In a mental hospital I wrote
Incessantly at verses to get good,
To recreate and see my fate with Keats
And write poems that were beautiful.
A woman (young) on the ward with me
Read my verse and sternly with a stare
Told me that her friend wrote of himself
(Implying some profound sincerity)
Poems that were truly beautiful
And when he was done destroyed them all.
Then she handed back my sheaf of papers -
And that was all she said.
