It was an example of how much one can grow lustily
\nWithout fracturing the shell of coziness that surrounds us,
\nAnd all things as well. “We spend so much time
\nTrying to convince ourselves we’re happy that we don’t recognize
\nThe real thing when it comes along,” the Disney official said.
\nHe’s got a point, you must admit. If we followed nature
\nMore closely we’d realize that, I mean really getting your face pressed
\nInto the muck and indecision of it. Then it’s as if
\nWe grew out of our happiness, not the other way around, as is
\nCommonly supposed. We’re the characters in its novel,
\nAnd anybody who doubts that need only look out the window
\nPast his or her own reflection, to the bright, patterned,
\nTimeless unofficial truth hanging around out there,
\nWaiting for the signal to be galvanized into a crowd scene,
\nJoyful or threatening, it doesn’t matter, so long as we know
\nIt’s inside, here with us.<\/p>\n
