glory be

it's my mother's birthday
and
my son's

so, the world goes on
it appears
and I have a place in the scheme
of things

this is simple
and means a lot
or means nothing

but it's nice having a mother,
grumpy as she is,
she is exactly right to be the one she is

and it's great to have a daughter and a son,
but at least one of them has a birthday that's
not on March 24

and today was cool in Austin
and the young lad who came around,
for the Anat Baniel lessons was hilariously
active and smart and over amped and adorable
and
dance
ah,
dance

and then the OM crowd,
the men and women part
and

the men and men
part

this poem
is pretty dull

oh, well

a day is a day

hope yours was as exhausting
and fulfilling as was mine

love
chris
