Happiness Hurtles Along

Happiness harvested from whims and wishes Happiness flashed and hushed in fetishes Serves and preserves no benefits As ventures and adventures yield no profits. Happiness at the behest of behemoths Happiness shone by fireflies to moths Deludes and alludes to fantasies Twisted and wasted in idiosyncrasies. Happiness surrendered to vagaries of vagabonds Happiness harnessed in split seconds Yields and shields no fields of permanence Caught up in lumpen luminescence. Happiness hewed from hornets’ nests Happiness skewed in pockets of pests Detests texts and contexts of honesty Swamped and dumped in humps of travesty.
