Disneyland Lines
Location
Behind my “I could kill a man” exterior
I am bubbling with little joys
Happy thoughts and events like counters
At Disneyland filing in and through
On their quest to experience some joy
Every time that iTunes understands
The mood I’m in
So that I don’t hate every song
I have ever owned so I don’t skip it
I can pop my swagger
At any time during the day
While I’m plugged in
Every time that I hear a powerful woman’s
Heels click on the sidewalk around me
Whether she’s feeling confident or not
Whether it’s her first time in them or not
Whether the weather is appropriate or not
The sound gives me a spark of confidence
To boost my mood
Every time a tv channel plays
Any movie from my childhood
Or any movie that I have
An emotional attachment to
A hot air balloon fills my chest with delight
Once, I cleared my entire day to watch
The entirety of Anne of Green Gables
Which is no small feat, mind you
And it’s nice because that happens often
Tv channels love to have throwbacks
I’m not complaining
Every time I see a small child anywhere
I can feel happiness take me over
Because seeing that much life
In such a tiny body is wonderful to think
The way that they wriggle around
As if telling their procreators
To release their small bodies to conquer
Conquer what?
I’m not sure but I’d let them do it
Every time I am around people I care about
And I see their eyes light up
Talking about something that they are
Extremely passionate about
I become brimming with delight
Because they have something
They truly care about
That is completely their own
And anytime I can smell
Fresh mowed grass, crisp autumn leaves,
Rainfall, baked goods, perfumes
Anytime I can hear
Laughter, furious clicking of computer mice,
Humming of fridges, brushing of teeth
Anytime I can feel
Strong Wyoming winds, warm sweatshirts,
Lactic acid of hard work, chlorine water
Anytime I taste
Oreos of all kinds, homemade meals,
Pizza in every form, chocolate
Anytime I see
Aesthetically pleasing pictures, bright lights,
Selfies, every single dog in the world
I will still look like I could destroy someone
But that doesn’t mean
I don’t have great happiness
Within me at all times of the day
