The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
I hope some of your best wishes come true this year.
Last year I wrote poem on this day and posted it here...I don't have one this year, unfortunately, but last year's still rings very true for me this year and I shall post it again....thanks again guys for thinking of me!
I've spoken at length with you about years rolling by unhinged
Like breathless wagons drawn by crazed stallions;
I've sat with you in the hushed cellars of our
Toilsome peers devising machines of immortality;
I have calmly stepped with you through the doorways of hospitals and morgues,
Scoffing at the gall of centuries to lay claim to my soul;
I have laid upon you, dear, halfnaked in dawn's presence,
Sucking sweetly through my nose the air you just breathed out,
Heaving my breath in time to yours,
And even then, dear,
(even then!)
I did not feel as truly alive as I do now
Upon my birthday,
This day with the Earth in a precise arc in it's trembling orbit
Which somehow belongs to me,
This day swinging stubbornly around once a calendar year
So that I may live with true vigor and purpose these scant hours,
And be reminded there was a time
I was not even alive!
from my window to yours
+ 1 for luck
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key
