19 days to 2/24
a rarity-
only happens once in people’s lives
to be the same age as thier birthday
a rarity-
to think that nearly a quarter century has passed
and neither quarter
nor century _mean_ anything
if 24 is a defining part of who you are
(as the great white father
and the paper mountains majesty
which make his seas to shining seas
glimmer like the gold of
Sacagawea would say;
“Age, sex, SS#”)
What is the big deal?
Sometimes the small picture
seems so much larger
other times
you can’t see the aurora
for the eclipse…
