- on Happiness

it takes a special
                          kinda crazy
to love crazy -
                          & this wkend
all sorts of crazy
                          in a bucket
that turned out ok
                          - gives me
pause there is a God
                          and he is
looking after me
                          and you
perhaps it was enough
                          to see this
life through or
                          perhaps it's
not still I sit here
                          and ponder
how I still sit here
                          how the trees
made noises, how
                          the dog never
barked or made a
                          noise & how
the one cat that
                          never seeks
attention caused
                          turmoil in you
how his meowing
                          woke us: how
you slipped away
                          letting him in
and never fell in
                          the shit left
behind by Happiness - God is
                          merciful even
when we forget to open the door
