Weekly Sonnet 17

The Happiest Day of My Life (Monday)

I feel joy again, in the way gazelles
feel after the leopard discontinues
the chase. The nineties taught us “sex sells”.
In the naught-ys, give me freedom of fear.

Or, what I could be feeling now is sim-
ilar to the scene in
Sen to Chihir-
o...
when after night, she sees pastel hues
again, biting into the rice cake: sim-
ple pleasures to sob uncontrollably
over. I hope in Congress, the assur-
ance: cronies hired no longer (probably).

Us, the nation will never behoove your
unorthodox information retriev-
als. Not full dystopia: my relief.
