On Tears, with Samuel Annan
i cry more when i'm Happy than when i am Sad.
is that right?
Happy is pure, and raw, and exciting,
but when i am Sad i tend, too, to be Mad.
is that so?
maybe not Mad, but rather Defeated.
Defeated?
that's right. Defeated, indeed!
or some mixed up matching of feelings, i mean it's
as if i am all sorts of things all at once.
oh, I see.
but Happiness, brother, that's it for me.
Happiness.
do go on!
at your wedding, for instance,
i cried and i cried
but i was not Sad.
and i was not Mad.
I wasn't Defeated, no not even Glad!
I was not Glad, I was just purely Happy.
Happy for you (for you're married, you see)
but Happy for me, too, (now i've got Sibling Three!)
