You don't need to use a word
like quiescent to describe a lonely
Saturday morning
You don't need to use a word
at all, let alone a pretentious
one
You don't need to use a word
for how you feel when
you can just stare blankly ahead
You don't need to use a word
to express loss or heartbreak
or the devastation of time
but happiness is another story
entirely:

Jubilation notwithstanding
the possibility of succinct
impressive diction can represent
one's joyful self
in the morning
as one explicates to one's mirror
some magnanimous memes
some serendipitous sentences
some fortuitous phrases
spoken aloud - in gratitude
more than one ever grasp, envisage;
You need those words.
