the frowsy

Give the frowsy-ordinary a major glow-up
celebrate the holidays, any holiday, you choose
put hedonism, desire theory and list theory to work
feast, carol well and let spirits soar
our souls are not solus - be with friends, heck, make new friends
chaos is the magic agent
happiness isn’t scripted, it’s a process,
by New Years, perhaps, we’ll all collapse in euphoric exhaustion
but we’ll have had the experience
.

I, age 72, had to look up ‘frowsy’, 'desire theory’, & ‘list theory’ but you, age 14, didn’t. How do you know those? Is that your Ivy League showing? . . Red gloves? Not white? . . . Nice piece!! . <3

Damn! I'd written a long reply, on my iPad between classes - after the class (a boring lab), I it picked up again and it was lost!! Argh. Anyhoo - I wrote this piece the day I posted it (two days ago?) - I guess someone has forgotten her PSYC 103 'Theories of Personalities' work. tisc tisc. Back in the long, traumatic COVID year-and-a-half lockdown, I swore that Christmas would be avenged!! *note: have you ever seen the movie "Galaxy Quest?" if not, it's a must - an essential, like 'the Princess Bride.' As part of my revenge, I have multi-numerous flaming-red Christmas outfits, selections from Walmart to Anne Fontaine. I think flaming red suits me. Eeek! Gotta go - morning jogg! =]

Hello Anais, Just the way you puts it "happiness isn’t scripted, it’s a process". You will travel far and on. My fervent frowsy wish in the season. -Richard

That may actually be original - I haven't looked it up - many times, when I think of something really good, I question it's originality. =]
