The Formula

“A formula for my happiness: a yes, a no, a straight line, a goal.” -Friedrich Nietzsche

Herr Nietzsche got it wrong.
A hula or oo-rah
is the happiness formula,
not a straight line,
but crooked, orbed.
I mean, it’s fine
but I’d want more
than a single yes or no.
I would at least press
for some show
of emotion, a “hell yes”
or a “yes, yes, O God, yes!!!”
Something with some jazz or rock n roll
not a straight line, but a chorus and kick
and a goal, a goal, goalgoalgoal!!!
