:: happy birthday to me ::

Twenty-six new ways of looking at the world.
At least, that's what I hope.
I honestly don't know that I am
Higher now than last year at this time --
It frightens me to think I might have just been
Crawling downward this whole time.
Or maybe I'm a mole and all this digging
And the darkness of my hole are what's
Supposed to be. Maybe.
