happiness as is sheer joy sometimes its a kind of relief like finding that the egg white holding all the eggs stuck to the carton must have come from somebody elses eggs or finding that 1 didnt burn the motor out when i lammed the washing machine wringer i just blew the fuse or jindjng that the cap that i was unable to screw back onto the tube of shampoo due to an inexplicable clumsiness lack of coordination and perhaps start of a enmolete physical breakdown was actually the cap to the toothpaste sometimes happiness is a brief momentary delight in teeing something a goose standing on one foot with one leg and wing stretched straight out behind lit in oddball arabesque 1 cardinal in the cedar outside the kitchen window first thing id the morning or a chipmunk industriously cleaning up the
