Am I pursuing happiness or is happiness pursuing me?
-
Happiness is in the pursuit   so they say;
         the pursuit                 of  happiness,
rather than,  say                      the pursuit
of Truth       or wisdom, or [a pursuit is a quest
       of legendary proportions; soldiers feel this way
       on the point of death in battle;
       transitioning to a new plane of existence
&                                      multiple individual awarenesses;
                                                    ­  the goddess & goddesses      
                                                      feel this instinctively
when a new being forms inside her womb
 [she is it- the awareness & pursuit         of        philosophy               or mystery                          is an                          odd stipulation to
        frame         as the law of the land;           [in god we trust to pursue happiness]
no wonder              Americans are
so ******              giddy;    super-
sports,    superwomen, super
tech,        super stupid [wow,
Einstein would          plotz -]
-
in god we trust
                to    pursue   happiness
&                 the inalienable right
    to bear arms
-
I think the founding           fathers were
high on firewater & chiba; the Indians
weren't stupid;          making those wig-
wearing weirdos see the ancient spirits;
America did art & literature    right b/c art is
notoriously  neurotic & pulled
                         from one's ***:
America birthplace of the Beats, Pinkham Ryder,
Poe, Stein, Dickinson, Burroughs, Me,
                            the Shadow,     the Lone Ranger,
                            **** Tracy, Superman; Bonnie & Clyde
& Al Capone; [                 ]  the disfunctional government
trying to rule by old   pieces of paper  w/ words they
                  can't understand: as for me      I worship
Barbie, Miss America, ******* - u & me [                ];
my personal   of happiness is sell evident;
               I  hold snooch to be self-evident
that all snooch is created equal           in America:
from Las Vegas      to Oz [the myth of white
            America created by Jewish America
            projected onto black America [theater] -
                     completely | [happiness is notoriously subjective:
  how should one pursue this intangible happiness?  
      what about anger, sadness & lust? do we presume
        to pursue      these feelings as well?  
        how about the pursuit of love,                  
        which doesn't make one happy - but there u go |
ignoring               Latin America; [vs. literature]
the Spanish myth of the      Andalusian plains      
                                      Gauchos & Contessas
       from an Old World                      across             the great waters that  
       may as well be outer space;
        Gaelic druid cowboy arises
       [burlesque emerging from the streets
       & underground:                 ***** naked women parading  
       in the all-together              & ragged petticoats, unlaced corsets;
big thighs in  ripped rayon                              stockings        :******
        among ***** drunken men;          
       | making tips,                    selling drinks,
                   [ex: frankly, ur happiness
                   just ****** me of!]        
                   gambling,
                   ******* right there        
          on top of        the tables  & below   to this day;  
gun      play -
pay-offs,                              [integrity, honesty, truth]
        from          the sun;      [if God is invoked
        in the Constitution,
        why is
        Satan not]   |
        from                                    the backyard        
bar-b-cue: drive-by
infants & in all this pretty girls get *****;
