poetry of jesse wiles

olives and celery

I'm happy and all the world should know why. It's not cause I'm rich, it's not cause I'm smart. I think it's because you're standing beside me.

I feel like dancing. I feel like singing. Rain happiness rain, upon every sad face, no cause for tears, put away leers I can't believe you're standing beside me.

No hunger, no need for breakfast put away the cornflakes and the NY Steaks and the olives and celery because you've filled me and stuffed me and I'm so full of you I might burst.

I'm happy and I'm smiling and all the world should know why. It's not cause I'm rich, it's not cause I'm smart, it's just that you kissed me before you jumped...
