Poem: You are happy
How long will it last?

Are you happy or high?
High is happy,
How long will it last?

High is fear and quicksand.
Sanity slipping away.
A whirlwind, a raceway,
How long will it last?

It lasts till the quicksand devours,
Till all is diminished and dull.
Delight is deadened, defeated,
How long, how long will it last?...
