numbers on a page

dates mean nothing.
anniversaries, birthdays,
holidays.
the first time this, or that.
imaginary numbers
gripped with two hands
on the calendar wheel.
worried that others might
forget.
make the best of this day.
don't worry about the rest.
do you need a day
to celebrate, to tell someone
you love them.
to you need another card
to send, or bouquet of flowers.
just put your arms around them
whenever you see them.
that's enough.
don't buy into the phony world
of guilt and shame
and not enough.
