birthday month

women do birthday
month.
men
ignore it
for the most part.
please don't get me
anything.
it's just another day
on the calendar page.
women plan
their own party.
buy their own balloons,
announce it
everywhere they go.
every friend within reach
eventually knows.
men shrug
and say, i don't really care,
maybe i'll open a can
of beans,
and watch a game
in the big chair.
