Happiness

[dotgraph]

Is a choice
A circumstance

Sometimes a lie.
Unsubstantial, unreasonable, and unfair.
A little gold chain that you wear around your neck and flash in the light.
A warm chain.
Quivering right above your heart in tremulous heat.
A breath.
A sigh of contentment, nearly extinct at its birth.
Happy. Eats its fuel and sputters smoke.
Because it was never there.
Letting you know, 
informing you of the difference between everything else.
