you didn't get a cake
this year for your birthday,
nor did you make one.
you've lost count of
the candles needed anyway.
maybe tomorrow, you'll
find a bowl, some eggs,
a boxed mix to swirl
together and bake one,
paste on a sweet icing
with a spatula.
give yourself a party.
some balloons perhaps.
maybe you'll sing
then blow out
whatever candles you
can find, or maybe you'll
go around the corner
and have drink or two
with strangers,
think about better times.
