Chapter 1
Happiness
Calm
Excitement, nervousness, annoyance,
emotions that are absent
in the realm of calmness.
A state of being with a free mind
wandering about endless possibilities of
outcomes, dialogues and answers.
Being able to exclude everything around you;
people, tweets, trains and just about anything.
Focused
Attention that roams around,
until you test yourself
to an endeavour;
abruptly fixated upon an activity.
Nothing hinders your way,
nothing can stop you,
nothing can provoke imbalance.
Excited
The eager to move up and down,
to an invitation to a party.
A chance to sway with others
–dancing with your body–
filling yourself with bliss and joy,
endless longing to smile.
The tense movements necessary
to dwindle down the kid inside you.
Mindlessness
To samba your tango
you have to waltz your disco.
Feeling every inch of your skin
getting in contact with other sweaty skin.
No space but to move your whole body
the way you want,
leaving no space for others
to do nothing.
Exhausted
I’m so tired,
this place makes me.
Sleepy.
It has nothing to do with sleep.
Just the people around, constantly moving
with the music,
with the rhythm.
Best get a drink before the portal
to an another world
drapes on my
eyes.
