they say it's your birthday

men for the most
part
ignore their birthdays. they
want no
fuss,
no cake,
no gifts, no cards.
maybe dinner out.
that's enough.
but no candles please
or anyone
singing.
but
with women it's different.
it's not
just one day,
it's all week and beyond.
every friend within
a hundred
miles is in on the celebration.
a parade takes place.
music
and gifts, confetti falls
from the sky.
it's a birthday greeting
all month
long.
