Happy Birthday

Only bald men are smiling.

A punishment of time
This sickening flesh
Faulted and worn

A fall from grace
No more double takes
or him grins

Get in line behind, “it’s her time to shine“
Smile and wave
Leave it behind.

Pack up your prize ribbons and put them in the garage along with your skinny jeans and red lipstick
Embrace change
Enjoy your dinner tonight

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
