Vapor Trails

When is your birthday?
When is your birthday.

I've been meaning to buy you something
you couldn't get on your own.

It's been good waking up
without night lights.  It's taken practice.

Because you're breaking my heart.
I do not know you.

But you do not know me either,
and that counts for something, doesn't it?

Avocados are in short supply,
the news tells me.

I heard many bees were dying and
we have hurricanes on the horizon.

Who would you kiss
given the zombie apocalypse?

And hard times.  I look at the sky and I
look at you and I imagine you are

looking back at me
from where you are

and it all makes better sense
from up there.
