Happy

I’ve been infected with happy…I can’t shake the exuberant, exhilarating feeling…this smile has taken up residence and created an army of laughter – breeding love…like music…permeating all the spaces that that remain stuck – so that melancholy finds herself betrayed and the usual suspects…fear…and hate…and self doubt…fall victim to the change…yes, this strange change…Happy…like a fat kid untouched by the cruelty of ridicule…or the ugly duckling transforming the norm…to become the constant beauty…Happy – a state of being that has arrested me…and caged me in now…without opportunity for pardon or parole…a lifetime sentence of abundant and joyful episodes…Yes, I’ve been infected with happy…and for this there is no cure!
