a poem for whenever

somewhere someone is listening to music
somewhere someone is reading a book

i like to eat pizzas, bagels, sandwiches
and other european-influenced foods
as well as foods from other parts of the world

and a fire is to now as a spark is to always

i get real happy and break my hands
i get real happy and break my feet
i get real happy and crawl and break my knees

the happiest i have ever been
the happiest you have ever been
and where we are whenever
and who we are whenever
