Birthdays Too Soon

Birthdays Too Soon

A few weeks
Early
She says
Nonchalantly

A few shots
Deep
He says
Nonchalantly

And with
Birthdays
that come
Once a
Year

We make
the Best
Of Worst
Situations

Regardless
Of who
Buys
The Shots

But dates
Stick
Just like
Birth rights
And middle names

Even
After the
Time passes
Clocks tick
and Suns set

For whatever reason
Birthdays
Too Soon
Are better
Celebrated
Than
Birthdays
on
Actual
Birth days
