Poetry: Birthdays

by Valerie Zwald

Created on: March 06, 2007   Last Updated: May 14, 2007

Thirty-seven

Could it really be?
My age is now that of
One person, old enough to drive

When everyone knows
That drinking and driving
Do not mix.
So much internal conflict
So much social responsibility.....

All I really want to do is eat cake.
