I AM SUCH A HAPPY LITTLE GIRL

When I was being born, I thought,
“There’s really no way this is actually happening.”

Years later, I yelled to a kid across a pond on his bike,
“Hey kid! We’re all just big, big beams of light!”

The night before that I’d met a really old woman
who told me everything I wanted to know about life,

which made me so bored I had to scream,
“I’m so fucking beautiful I can’t even stand it!”
