I measure my happiness

I do

by steam-powered machines

that dispense dessert

by felted music I get to touch

by waves that come down

over my body from inside my head

Have you lived today?

                                           Art by Daiva Kairevičiūtė

I'll write you a whole life

and place it in a home

a beautiful home

You'll rent the whole

package, a 6-months lease

to see what your real path is

I'll write of every nook

stories of every thing...

It'll be grand, you'll see

Very clear on what to do

May kotodama propel

us deeper into life

Today I'm stretching time

my purple taffy yum

It's not a weekday with a name

the biggest smile is the game

She asks to be rewarded 

by a conversation

Who wants to fix my dripping bathtub faucet 

be paid with sweet talk about all non-things

Because you might not know

my inner angel heart is the loudest thing

about me

I'll upcount it twenty five percent today
