Hiccups
by Charles Kesler


Friend of mine in the VA Hospital
for depression was lower today.
Said the staff gave a guy Thorazine
for hiccups last night. When everyone
got up this morning the guy didn't.
He was dead. Nurses said he was still
alive when he left the ward. Friend
said that was a lie. He knows dead.
He was a medic in Vietnam.
