Day 328: Joy
∴
there are certain sharp moments –
as short and halting as deja vu –
when joy hypnotizes me
like a jolly venom
that paralyzes
time.
these moments can be most ironic
when felt in times of scarcity
or isolation.
but they come then,
too.
it goes to show,
i suppose,
that joy is such an emotional child,
it doesn’t care
about its provisions
and is exhilarated
simply
by being.
