in response to a co-worker who hinted i've lost my life-spark
a lifelong mantra
spills from lips like desert sand
don't worry i'm fine
to my mother, who called at 5:45 this morning
part a
i'm glad you called but
with my sis being pregnant
i thought you had news
part b
another birthday
forgotten leaves me laughing
(unlike the last time)
another grievance concerning daylight savings
you laughed then but you
can't say i didn't warn you
daylight savings sucks
What?! Happy Birthday!
