1972 reader my friend, is in the words here, somewhere. Frankly, I'd like to make you smile. Words addresssing evil won't turn evil back but they can give heart. The cheer is hidden in right words. A great deal isn't right, as they say, as they are lately at some pains to tell us.
Words have to speak about that.
They would be the less words for saying smile when they should say do. And they will tell you what to do, if you listen, if you want that. Certainly good cheer has never been what's wrong, though solemn people mistrust it. Against evil, between evils, lovely words are right. How absurd it would be to spin these noises out, so serious that we call them poems, if they couldn't make a person smile.
