as the alchemy of the best day of your life
and what immediately follows.
what a disgrace it can't last forever–
it's only wise not to chase only this pleasure,
but savor it,
remember it.
one time maybe write about it,
with no words, no sounds.
only the flutter in the stomach or the way your feet bounced to the rhythm.
what keeps us alive
is caged in a deep set of neurons
that can remember back centuries of delight.
