Happiness is elusive as memory.

Happiness isn't the goal,

It definitely isn't the means

And in most times isn't the way nor the road to other things.

Happiness is a moment,

It is endlessly brief

And agonizingly joyful

In a way that turns your mind

Upside down and sideways

Loops and over and backwards again

Motionless in body and light speed

In mind.

It is the moment you remember.

Simply remember that time and the

Other.

One moment she's laughing

And then she's gone,

1 Mississippi

2 Mississippi

3

4.

She's there,

But this time,

All the happiness is gone

You

Are

Alone

But she's still there.
