my birthday present

on the eve of my birthday
i find myself with a bruised ego.
in other times
i would have tried to fix the situation.
on the eve of my birthday
i want to reduce my ego.

what a wonderful present.


At the coffee shop

(after I am finished)
would you like anything else?
no, thank you
another glass of water?
no, thank you
(she takes my dishes and returns with a glass of water)
but I said “no, thank you?”
all the customers say “no, thank you” and all of them drink the water
