The problem with being happy
Is a lot like the problem with pluto
It was a vague way of
Describing a complex thing
Our sense of happiness is so fragile
It can be destroyed by simply asking whether or not it exists
Instead I'm busy
I'm interested
I'm fascinated
I want to build things
And then break them
I want to be busy and beautiful
And brimming with
Ten thousand moving parts
I want to hurt
So that I can heal
And that's okay
