birthdays
are
stupid
dumb
wished they never marked
how old you are by a day
a “special” day
set aside to celebrate
wished they would just forget the whole thing
now
that I’m forty three
now
that I woke up with a crook in my neck
and I can’t hardly see the screen
now that
I feel
every
single
one
of 15,695 days I have been
breathing
could we just dump the birthday thing
you know whudimean
and you know what else
I noticed
besides really feeling super old
ancient
there are some Beautiful People out there
used to
I could compete on sheer moxie
used to I could hold my own in any crowd
not
any
more
fifteenthousandsixhundredninetyfive days
of living
is all over my face and body
and
guess what
I don’t care
and I am mean and crotchety and
downright CRANKY
so
all that said
happy
friggin
birthday
to
me
