they tell you to stop the sad faces, the heavy limbs, and the snappy remarks
but they do not tell you how
if you ask them, they will falter, for a second before they tell you to think about happy thoughts, listen to happy music until the word happy bounces off your skull and the rows of your ribs
happy happy happy happy
and you nod your head and say "i feel better now"
they will smile and kiss your forehead, leave you there with the word happy escaping through your fingertips
