if i could say

how much fun i'm having

it would seem wrong.

one shouldn't be able

to absorb good things

to such a degree

without having to give back

to the universe

the overflow.

but since there are

no shoulds

i'll just be happy

as i am,

and leave all the excess

to waste...

...the leftovers

like flower petals fallen

signifying something that once was

but even more beautiful

and valuable

in pieces

than as a whole.

a waste, a luxury.

after all,

one can never have enough

happiness.

...

thanks for making me

lots of petals.
