Poets United, Midweek Motif – Happiness
First, some process notes. There is an advertisement campaign going on at the moment, appealing to us to “collect our happiness in three designer’s glasses”. The idea that happiness can be contained in three glasses only seemed funny. Then, I found this amazing glass made by a Belgrad-based designer and really decided to show it.

Happiness
Measure it in three glasses.
Pour it out
and drink it chilled.
I will need buckets to take all
the stuff I’ve considered
my happiness.
I will surely refuse to count
the vessels
and the volume units
of what I’ve thought
my happiness.
I will surely refuse to
define it,
either.
I’ll have it my way,
and let happiness define me.
