you remove obligation,
you worked hard for the money
and you live in this time
of original truths:
life, liberty, property
until Tom fingered the last word,
felt a hollow and moved toward a feeling,
pursued a feeling, happiness.
The scariest word for the oppressed,
the dumb bravery of happy,
happy is one hundred other things
besides happy, and you deserve it,
likes words and the butterfly wing.
Stop crying. We will know what we deserve
when we do what deserves it.
