  The happiness manual says
  Among many things
  That for one to be happy
  One must be in the 'present'

  Not in the past
  (The Happiness manual says
  Among many things...)
  ((That's not funny))

  Or in the future
  (This is the last line)

  What a boring proposition
  I am feeling sheepish
  Like an actual sheep
  Take me out to pasture

  What about all the ability of the world to come crashing down?
  With a signature or a shot?
  What about the loving I could be getting?
  What about thunderstorms and light graces?

  No
  concentrate
  on this poem
  keep writing in quatrains

  It IS the proper poetic form after all
  No more ruminations or silly questions or poems
  Type this until you get to the last line
  This is the last line
