The Tradeoff
I was perfectly happy,
a singular chime
I was perfectly happy,
alone in my mind
I was perfectly happy,
my world underscored
I was perfectly happy,
my feelings secure
I was perfectly happy,
adrift in my world
I was perfectly happy,
no feeling’s unfurled
I was perfectly happy,
till one fateful day
Now misery haunts me
—in love I must stay
(West Philadelphia: June, 2018)
