9th February. I suppose it should hold special meaning, Or coloured dinosaur eggs But it's merely volcano silt. Washing out a year and bringing in a brand new blandness I don't need. It'll be the celebration day of my birth in just a week Everyone has forgotten, Too wrapped up in their own brain mazes; Everyone forgets, Mauve poison daggers seeping through memories Forgetting; Mostly warm summer days, Mostly the southerly change at night Mostly February ninth.
