dad i/ dream this time we are happy

dad i
dream this time we are happy

i don't
know why we are happy

it just
is a fact and so i don't question it

i wake
up still with that feeling convinced

to be
happy all you have to do

is know
you are happy and end questions there

This is great, CM. I've read it about a dozen times now. I picked up your book "Selected Short Stories: The Vignettes" awhile back and really liked it. It was good to read some of those again. Hope all is well.

Hey buddy -- I was thinking about you so thanks for dropping by & also for buying my book. I'm still editing those three books a bit so you have a real original work of art and I am gratified you purchased one.

Heh, I just read the comment I left and this particular sentence grabbed me by the crotch: "It was good to read some of those again." Please allow me to clarify.

The sense I hope you decided to take this in is this: "I had already read some of the pieces on your blog and it was good to read them again" as opposed to this potential meaning: "It was good reading only some of them again, while some of them it was not good to read again." I just had to set it straight. Language is a dick.

Ha! Thanks for the clarification, I took you comments in the positive sense.
