unbirthday

The best birthday gift I can give
this year is forgetting, for

the old roommate whose parents
chose his day for the divorce,

for the coworker who is brought to
tears at the thought of 31.

I will smile like I've forgotten how
to count, like I've renounced calendars.
I will try harder not to remind you.
