5556. AND SO I GOT HAPPY

AND SO I GOT HAPPY
"Went to the gas station, walked right in.
Ordered a pie flambe, ate it down. The 
guy at the counter said 'You payin' now?' 
I said 'Not until I'm full.' I didn't know 
if he meant the gas or the pie. Neither 
did he, and he didn't say.
-
Have you ever sat somewhere just waiting; 
watching a hundred things go by but just
never deciding? I have, like a bird, dancing
on wires, trying to stay hard in the wild wind.
It's always a dance  -  all this stuff  -  commensurate
mostly with either all we have done or with nothing
at all. (All I ever did was get happy)."
