Day 26: Birthday

For Myself, as a present

Arbitrary
and, I guess, insignificant
Arbitrary
makes me revolutionary.
One time around, for me, glinting
from Earth’s surface for a stint—
Arbitrary

(2014)

This is day 26 of my month long Rondelet marathon! I wrote this poem in reflection on the imaginary significance of birthdays, and trying to expand them to become something extraordinary insignificant, but in being so insignificant it becomes intricately fascinating.
