Dan Brown - Birthday

It’s my birthday soon.
20th of February.
I add another year to the
endless list of those already passed.
I add more anecdotes and experiences to the
overflowing collection I already have.
I add another pair of socks to the
poor drawer that detests the sight of them.
What’s more, I add myself to the
day that celebrates me.
For even if I don’t care for it all,
it’s polite to pretend that I do.

Dan Brown
