Happiness Poem
Here I am eating a tastynectarine from my neighbour’s tree
and I am eating round the dimple
of where it is eaten by birds ants
other insects and so on who also
like tasty things. Everything is in love
with sugar and I am licking all the juices
dripping down onto my pants and arms
and shoes I am licking them up and
licking my lips and soon enough I am
also eating inside the dimple eaten by
birds ants and so on and we
are sharing communion of fruit I
am tasting their mouths with my mouth
and I am eating the stone slowly and
grinding it into a paste in my teeth it
is an aphrodisiac.
