Thank you folks. I'm glad people aren't just saying 'how depressing' -
If you look at it the right way, the poem is trying to cheer us all up! In an unconventional way, admittedly...

The reference to Phnom Penh skulls really put the hook in my anti-Pol Pot/communist psyche!

Different mystical, I found, though the thoughts are real and with foundations, why not some believe in reincarnation, Good Sonnet Tony. Thank you

Hmm, I did wonder!!

Don't recall much of the time before I was born, except ... yeah!

I was sure that I was a male trapped in a female body ; then I got born, and it all turned out all right. Well, almost. Too late to do much about it now tho;.

Have a good weekend, amigo.
