The Laugh Of God Poem by Rev. Dr. A. Jacob Hassler

The Laugh Of God

Rating: 3.4


the morning after heavy drinking
last night's liquor
straps me to my whirling bed
and makes me wear
a stethoscope
that was lying in a gutter
amidst all nervous traffic & bus stop conversation


the garbage truck always comes
crashing down the street
and the ice cream man always
stops outside my window
like the morbid punchline to
some divine joke

I like the imagery in this one. It's simple yet still quite powerfully expression particularly to those of us who have had a hangover or five.
