Fortune Cookie

Ned Taufik

Story

My idea of living


Is the ease of everything


Like the smallest being


Til the biggest happening


But it’s tricky


As I’m here sitting quietly


Crying over a fortune cookie


Telling me the world is full of joy


That we just need to enjoy


But, oh boy,


How am I to enjoy


If I can’t see it


If I am not fit


If I don’t have the kit


And when joy is there


Then where?


If it’s elsewhere


And not in there


Within me?
