The Joy

Loza is calling me. Liza is calling you. We need a little bit of caramel for this rendezvous. So the guy can pull them off without trying. Let’s make it so that when we tell the ad story on tv and radio no one will object to buying at the price in America or in London. Marrakech! Marrakech!! That sad place we never ever went. That awful place we thought we would love from the pictures. But grew to hate without knowing what we were looking at.

Stop spoiling the show for us. We already think you’re cool as is. Any cooler and you would freeze to death — in our minds. To death. Till the death. Till we have no remorse for your constant trying. Don’t cry! Frozen tears don’t mean anything to anyone. They are just that — pure lies.

We only seek one thing. To love like life belongs to all of us. You, me, you and the other thing. We all deserve to be here and we don’t belong here.

In any case once we find joy, we will know it and we will all love and accept it. And then it’s going to be like what’s the point of all the sex? you see? Because if we have all this plenteous platitudes, people will actually believe we know what’s going to happen tomorrow, the day after, the day after and so on and so on.

You only leave once. Said the preacher, so make sure you shut the window and come back in another life as a star, the moon, plus some other beautiful things following the sun rays. Rays of light for our future flight mean my familiar face will see his grace. Rays from bright to kiss the night, take their time to make it right. As if we would even send a different call. Or we could go to tinder to make friends for the visit into outer space.

Ah. Much better. This sounds like the joy. No feels like it. Here is the lightness we’ve been looking for. Here for a moment as if it won’t come again. But we are happy. We are in the words “overjoyed”. Dancing gleefully. Hopping peacefully. For the sun has come. The sun had come. The storm is gone. The storm had gone. Now the calm. The calm. The calm of being. The calm of being in joy.
