happiness is a three-person livingroom dance party, planning
a cover band. gertie saying, "go to lunch!"
slapping my bum with a pattern and whispering,
"take an hour; youve been good."
pretend conversations in the car: rehearsing things
i'll never say, but feeling better just
having it out with myself. these days, the song
and feeling like we have reached an understanding.

i love you. yes you.
