Happiness is like

The words to a song I used to know but can’t quite seem to remember

My lips closing around an empty fork when I expected a bite of spaghetti

The fleeting relief of a summer breeze that stops before it starts

Knowing exactly what paragraph I should have read while staring blankly at a test question

Being sure I recognize a person I see but not remembering how I know them

The feeling of knowing right where I am but being lost all the same

Losing an argument and not admitting it to myself

Happiness is like all these things but it’s hard to say what it really is for sure


This is just a little ditty that came to me as I was driving home tonight.
