we'd like to be happy

we'd like
to be happy, to be near
what
we assume happiness to be,
but
don't quite
get there, 
small things, larger things
get in the way.
so we
put that idea on the back
burner
and settle for some
variation of contentment,
a hot meal,
a warm
bed.
electricity and such,
it's too hard to reach for
more
some days.
