isn’t the nature of happiness
to lure you forward inward
upward to a time and space
more joyous than you are now
and with just one or two
shifts in fortune or circumstance
you know you’ll be back on course
headed for that promise land?
so the dogs are in horizontal peace
asleep on the sofa
four dear friends are coming to
dinner in a couple hours
I’m munching a particularly
good brand of kettle chips
and finishing up this poem
maybe for me
this
is as good as it gets
