LONELY? MAYBE, by CECIL PERKINS

First Line: Yet, I was alone in a thousand
Last Line: And somehow -- I wasn't, alone.
Subject(s): Laughter
Yet, I was alone in a thousand
Of mortals, the same as I
Who proffered their synthetic pleasures
To those, who had money to buy.
But out in the grass of the pasture,
And around every bush and stone,
Were hundreds of laughs, for the laughing,
And somehow -- I wasn't, alone.
