April

Here's a picture of a cow and a graveyard.

Here's a tiny bedroom in a little house. A tiny bedroom filled with brand new clothes and the only place to sleep in it a nest on the top bunk of a bunkbed set whose lower berth is piled to the top with dresses with the price tags still on them.

Here's me and you out back waving at your mom in the sky as she goes flying by.

I've been going around singing Chuck Berry's "Maybelline" in my head ever since last Tuesday the 6th of April. Wishing I could get to an online computer and frustrated because I couldn't.

Because I wanted to say here

Happy Birthday

To You
