\nFor another day\u2019s work
\nBack in the World<\/em><\/p>\n
\nTo go food shopping
\nBack in the World<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAt the corner deli
\nBack in the World<\/em><\/p>\n
\nMy face and hair
\nBack in the World<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAnd read a popular novel
\nBack in the World<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAnd
\nRemember
\nHis lost smile<\/em><\/p>\n![\"05-03\"](\"http:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/05-031.jpg\")
