a birthday every day

|
||||
every day, the universe sketches itself anew
|
||||
like an etch-a-sketch broken by accident from a cousin's fall
|
||||
if I am made of the same stuff as the stars
|
||||
then it is my birthday every day
|
||||
|
||||
but even if the atoms that make up my body
|
||||
all somehow- miraculously- came from the same ball of gas
|
||||
every day these days I keep reinventing myself
|
||||
so every revolution might as well be another birthday
|
||||
|
||||
I still suspect that others are lying about their birthdays
|
||||
an effortless reach for clout
|
||||
meaningless numbers on a screen
|
||||
that could all be extinguished in a moment's breath
|
||||
like the birthday candles you purport to require
|
||||
|
||||
but what is a birthday, anyway?
|
||||
just a day that marks one more year around the sun
|
||||
one more year of being on the run
|
||||
running out of time
