Diffuse

Witness happiness; it will bleed into you. 

It may evaporate you into a whisper as it moves from high to low, 

but I'm not a chemist. 

It might just stay within your components 

and make you a better compound.

 It may take away the acidity.

It may leave just enough to remind 

you you're still a little sour. 

But our tongues were made 

to taste that too. 

Being human sucks, I know! 

But some of us have figured out 

a way to make the best of it. 

You have to think about it this way: 

The sun may have gotten 

the better deal over the moon, 

but we have our capacity of reason; 

I like to think that puts us

just shy of stars underneath the Sun. 

And we are rising balloons;

we can handle the heat. 

Just be watchful—careful— 

because Icarus thought so too, 

and even he was beat.
