Are you happy?
someone asked me
of late at just
the right
moment
I hesitated
What exactly is
happiness?
Not wealth
or fame
It is not
to be found
in dopamine
or dancing
through life
Not
godliness
ascetiscism
or contentment
But it surely feels like
an approximation of a
certain moment of bliss
that even now
I cannot fully
apprehend
