Happier Things
When feet grow wings
I’ll think of happier things:
Like pocketing textbooks
And catching all your dirty looks.
When feet grow wings
We’ll speak of happier things,
And find the cure for anti-freeze
Lies meandering in hyperboles.
When feet grow wings
We’ll mock the happier things
To flirt with enlightenment
By exercising our entitlement.
When feet grow wings
I’ll chase happier things,
Singing carols like a drunken sailor
At point blank with a tranquilizer.
