You know how much happier you’ll beif you expect less out of yourself
and others
yet you just won’t do it.

You keep yourself on the cross
though that’s not your particular
dieu du jour

and keep your eye on the others
to make sure
they live up to whatever standard
is so important at the moment.

As the only Elvis that ever mattered said,
"I hope you’re happy now."

And…?
Are you?
