coasting through the years

i still have the birthday card
that my
office mates
from my old IT job gave me
a long time ago.
back when there were
main frame
computers in the building.
and COBOL was the rage.
they all signed it.
the front of the card
showed a picture
of a young man, me,
with wild hair,
surfing on a beer coaster
as i drank from a frosty
mug of ice-cold brew.
the caption read,
still coasting after all
these years.
nothing has changed, just
the drink,
and the hair.
