Oh man, I love this! The ending is, perhaps, my favorite part! I love how you singled out happiness, by the way! Amazing poem!

I liked the flow of this, and the feeling behind the words. I don't know what words to describe it, but its atmospheric. I liked the imagery - especially of the chopsticks splintering crooked.
You had no idea how much I enjoyed that poem! It was so quirky, with the narrator's matter-of-fact tone throughout the whole poem. And the fact that you equated splintering chopsticks with bad luck. It was overall just amazing.
