All the pages of the calendar ran past The fingers, arms, and face and the second counting hand And for a second, I thought I had a real life plan Then it turned out real life had a plan I don't understand Why On the third time, these birthdays, for the first time No head in the sand I feel like a hundred grand saying "I am who I am" Even without ionic, atomic, nuclear clocks ticking I can feel I'm gaining time as the plot continues tricking my mind and skin are thickening as I continue picking and pricking the skin, like queen mab said This world is a dream, sometimes its a nightmare I'm happy, it seems, having something to share

Birthday III
All the pages of the calendar ran past The fingers, arms, and face and the second counting hand And for a second, I thought I had a real life plan Then it turned out real life had a plan I don't understand Why On the third time, these birthdays, for the first time No head in the sand I feel like a hundred grand saying "I am who I am" Even without ionic, atomic, nuclear clocks ticking I can feel I'm gaining time as the plot continues tricking my mind and skin are thickening as I continue picking and pricking the skin, like queen mab said This world is a dream, sometimes its a nightmare I'm happy, it seems, having something to share
A tradition I started a few years back to work out a poem on my birthday
