Joy Writing

I scribble happiness with a mechanical pencil

And tattoo joy onto a blank sheet with ballpoints

Ink circulates my elation like oxygen

Through my blood stream

Can you feel it?

Inject it by virtue of pupils

Those that see and those in uniform

Spread the jubilation by word

Of mouth and fingertips

Until it is scattered across the globe

As bird seed for birds to feed

It is simple and plain

It is complex and deranged

We haven't created it

We only explain

How it makes us feel

How it makes us real, until

Happiness is born on the page
