There were all of those things
That happened to a different person
Because the light between us
So distant, so thin
Illuminating the dust that stands
Between me and myself
When I stood in the basement
When I sat on the porch
The world is all me,
I'm playing a game
I'm sitting on the curb
I'm riding the elevator
And eating a bagel
Like when I was a little boy
I'm watching the ambulance, the train
Rolling by, going past
Standing at the edge
Of entirety
It's September 26th
I am 18
Tomorrow
Happy birthday
