"Am I happy? Pigs are happy."
Said Einstein.
So what?
Does being happy then
Make  me a pig?
And what if it does?
At least I'd be happy.
That's more than most folks I know.

I don't look for happiness from language,
I look for explosions of meaning
That I had not perceived
Horror or happy.
What is human
Is the meaning of Art -- capital A.

"I am become Death"
quoth Oppenheimer.
