The Pursuit Of Happiness
I don't have to bring my smarts
to a learning session with my friend God;
Instead I go forth in all my stupidity,
my unknowingness, my 'wouldn't even
venture a guess'.
God loves that I come prepared with
empty pockets.
You can count on his reflexive need to
fill you up, ha ha ha.
I like to play poker with him using matches.
Whoever retains the most matches at the end,
has to search out places on earth that need a light:
-old forests-
-people fading away from 'ennui'
-virgins on their wedding night [Hey! It still
exists in our imaginations.]
I usually can't remember the rules of the game,
but I still win sometimes.
Once he sent me home with a gift:
It was a button with the legend:
"I have no opinions".
He said it was like earning a Merit
Badge in 'Thinking'.
I always leave- not smarter, but happier.
