|
|
<p>every day, the universe sketches itself anew<br />
|
||
|
|
like an etch-a-sketch broken by accident from a cousin's fall<br />
|
||
|
|
if I am made of the same stuff as the stars<br />
|
||
|
|
then it is my birthday every day</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>but even if the atoms that make up my body<br />
|
||
|
|
all somehow- miraculously- came from the same ball of gas<br />
|
||
|
|
every day these days I keep reinventing myself<br />
|
||
|
|
so every revolution might as well be another birthday</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>I still suspect that others are lying about their birthdays<br />
|
||
|
|
an effortless reach for clout<br />
|
||
|
|
meaningless numbers on a screen<br />
|
||
|
|
that could all be extinguished in a moment's breath<br />
|
||
|
|
like the birthday candles you purport to require</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>but what is a birthday, anyway?<br />
|
||
|
|
just a day that marks one more year around the sun<br />
|
||
|
|
one more year of being on the run<br />
|
||
|
|
running out of time</p>
