New Normal
June 10, 2014
Happy was an odd laugh,
a moment, not a day-
respite from fickle normalcy
when thoughts had time to stray.
Happy took a detour
once fleeting fortunes flew,
discontent then rolled beneath it
of mundane and bitter brew.
So I searched for Happy,
to look it in the eye
and demand what vain conviction
willed it to wring me dry.
Now my pursuit is clear,
having found my foolish boy,
Happy needn't return here-
I know a steadfast joy.
