Toxic Positivity

Utopia reeked of many things;

namely, selfishness. And why not?

They were happy. All of them were happy.

But among the riches, and fame, and sex,

among bared teeth, quivering, ready tongues,  and glad masses of bodies;

they were still missing each other


 no end in sight and 

no pride sore enough to make their poverty known.
