Inconceivable

In days I find work;
In nights I wait for day.

In school I find monotony,
At home time passes too quickly.

A person sees me smile
And asks, "How can you be so happy?"

I shrug and avoid the question--
Even I don't understand the inner workings of my mind.

--In the style of William Stafford
