one afternoon I said to myself
“Why isn’t the joy leaner?”
Are you upset by how heavyset it is?
Does the joy make you shiver?

down, down, down into the darkness of joy,
gently it goes.
just like an ******, is the joy.

one afternoon I said to myself,
“why isn’t the playfulness lighter?”
does playfulness make you shiver?
does it?

One afternoon I said to myself
“the giggling is not unexcited! the giggling is exceptionally nervous.
a giggling is emotional
a giggling is a drunk
a giggling is on pins and needles however
