Happiness hit her like a train on a track…
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
“Dog Days Are Over,” Florence + The Machine
j was young&happy
(and everyone hated her for it)
everyone was old&bitter
as a sock worn for 37 days in summer
when j smiled she was radiant&beautiful
and j always smiled
everyone noticed and assumed for no reason
j often broke into song&dance
j preferred Florence + The Machine
but sometimes she was making it all up
everyone complained and it was a fact
j caused more than one wreck singing&dancing
although no one was ever inured
and cars can be repaired relatively easily
j was young&happy
(and everyone hated her for it)
and this was something j never knew
because happiness is a bullet-proof vest on a warm&sunny day
