Today, 4/9, turned 29;
in '94, 9th hour born;
4 craves stability,
9 thrives on change;
if you believe in
that sort of thing.
But like the dogwood,
its burnt-edge blooms;
the same each spring,
abscission looms.
Roots in the past,
leaves up for the storm
in '94, 9th hour born.

Today, 4/9, turned 29;
in '94, 9th hour born;
4 craves stability,
9 thrives on change;
if you believe in
that sort of thing.
But like the dogwood,
its burnt-edge blooms;
the same each spring,
abscission looms.
Roots in the past,
leaves up for the storm
in '94, 9th hour born.
