birthday

"Happy Birthday"
Tyrone says to me,  
then to you,  
"She's a Libra—  
that means she’s good."  
But I’m too busy,  
on my knees,  
petting his spaniel,  
too caught up to correct.
Only half good.

Then we head  
to the movies,  
my purse filled  
with sneaked-in candy,  
because no matter my age,  
some things never change.

There's a little girl
always inside me
and it's she
who is up to no good.
