The Mood Algorithm

 The watch on my wrist

measures the heartrate

and stress. 

It calculates my mood

algorithmically.

The dial glows green today.

A smiley emoji,

'Low stress' it says.

It's a Monday

A new week dawns with

new possibilities.


The brain refuses the score.


Am I fine ? It asks

Where is the worry then?

and the whine ?

The constants have become

a part of normal score?


The heart smiles

This happy emoji, this low stress score

It's a fool's paradise.

But paradise none the less !
