sadness encroached and said to me
\"why are you not sad?\"
and i said, \"because i am happy.\"
\"happy who?\" she asked
\"happy - happiness.\" i answered;
unafraid that i\'d exposed happy to sad
and happiness to sadness;
blinking with intense anger and hatred,
envy and jealousy
against happy happying with happiness.
and
even as i greet and handshake saddiness,
i allow not sorrow to touch
and th-ro-w me in her own abyss
because,
because,
because,
i am course on a cause
