The poor in spirit

We are standing
in the store
with the scales
in our hands.

We are weighing
the awareness
of diseases.

We are stacking
the desire
for recognition.

Then this man
shuffles
into the shop
and asks for
strawberries.

We expose the goods
on the counter.

The old man
looks at the fruit
and smiles
blissfully.

We look at each other
in surprise.

Happiness?
Does it still exists?
