birthday blues / pianissimo and languendo /  8.22.

Damn.  was it birthday time already?

my son!.. mea culpa! mea maxima culpa!

sure, I can be faulted, but in my defense

time zips along without hand-written notifications.

and wouldn't you know that on your special day

the orange-tinted lunatic was threatening the airwaves,

Los Angeles was under fire and needed a drink,

Afghanistan was a bloody, dusty mess, (unlike last year,

you know, all grassy, fragrant and cheerful)

and I hear through the grapevine that republican

knuckleheads were scheming an initiative to pollute

the atmosphere of Venus!

what a whacky buncha cocoanuts. I mean,

the place is pretty much screwed as it is, right?

well, what's left for me to say?.. guilty!
