This is how to be happy.

Let there be distance.  Walk beside him,
let your arms linger too close too long.

Sit on a park bench.  Take off your shoes.
Chase geese in sneakers that hurt your ankles.  

Learn how to skip stones.  Even if they plunk.
Laugh when you reach for the same rock.

Memorize how many scoops of coffee he takes.
Don't forget the cream.
