One year older
No more wiser
Aging an inevitability

Unwanted
like rain in summer
or a scuff on a new pair of shoes

A day for celebration
should be a day for mourning
black veils and chrysanthemums
a footstone for the grave

A retailers delight
for card companies and cake shops
not for halfhearted smiles
or aging discontent

For me, just another day

One year older
no more wiser
aging an inevitability
The air was warm , the warmest day so far this year . The sky was bright and blue with a brisk wind that made everything bearable . It was short and an unremarkable tribute that lasted merely minutes . No songs , no tears , no shame , and all unbearably lame . They don't lower the caskets in the presence of the attendees anymore . That's really a loss as no one can toss any dirt into the grave . I'll go back in six months after the grass grows over and the footstone has been placed . Then I will leave the state and never return . When the circle has been broken then you make a square and put a headstone over it .

— The End —
