Happily Ever After
Only in America
do people expect to be happy.
It’s in our constitution
to demand pleasure
or at least the pursuit of it.
We want our picket fences
and chocolate cake, too.
We want not just true love
but unending adoration
with some instant gratification
on the side.
We want to make a difference
by making ourselves feel better.
We want to save the world
with shopping malls.
Elsewhere, success is survival.
But in the land of the
buy one get one free
we are not satisfied
until we are famous.
And even then we want more,
now,
again.
again.
again.
-Lo, running so late.
