As my life gets more difficult
With more responsibilities and considerably less money
I get happier
Not sure why this is happening
Feel I should be more depressed
Eat ice cream
Ride a bike
See squirrels fucking in the street
Listen to water
Smell the sea
And somehow know
Without being told
That everything is fine
That my lack of possessions is good
No money
No problem
I see myself
Living in a cave
Eating out of trash cans
Lacking Wi-Fi
Furiously writing on public library computers
Because writing furiously is the only thing I know how to do
Watching other people look up cell phones
As I think about soda cans
And how one soda can
Represents a nickel
That nickel is the happiest thing it can be
It is happy
Like me
Let us hug
Because hugging is free
Your hugs like me
And I like you so very much
