Happy

Chris Butler

What ever happened to happiness?

More effort is required to turn upside
down frowns around than over again,

so simple grimaced faces ripple dimples,
expressing reactions of our primal fear,

when emotionless oceans motion waves
to wash away my subconscious oasis,

and toilets flush draining serotonin in
wishing wells of swelling brain veins.

It sure will be missed.

Delving deep into depressive depths,
I tend to pretend over the ledge,

as fleeting feelings spring little feet,
wanting to sprint past feeble needs,

along the path with shoeless buddhists
searching for shrines of lost ignorance,

or fishing for flopping fish as a treat
of innards where there’s no red meat.

What ever happened to happiness?
It sure will be missed.
