Why I Write, Part x+129: Hopping Clouds

I've been hopping clouds lately. I've hit eight or nine.
I feel like an eleven – you know, better than fine,
Despite living in a family of cannibal/sacrificial goats,
Which is to say we think it's nothing to cut each others' throats,
Which is to say my happiness may not require peace,
Nor must it require a romantic contact or release.
Am I rich? Then do I need money? I doubt it.
My old music helps, but in the past I've done without it.
It seems all I need are ideas and a pen
To feel damn near a twelve, with his sights on cloud ten.
