Drinking Coffee Black

A Poem by William Arthur

A little poem about happiness and honesty.

Drinking Coffee Black


I like you slightly less than you think I do but

I am still glad you think that I like you that much,

It makes you happy and

knowing I make someone happy,

makes me happier.

 

Too many people break the illusion for the sake of honesty and

do nothing but make the world a slightly less happy place.

 

Honesty is like a bear knee deep in a salmon run killing happiness.

Happiness is learning to drink coffee black.
