Mark’s Birthday!!
He bought the cake and ice cream
And a bottle of champagne
and we decorated the cake
with our wedding figures:
the little green guy flexing his muscles
and the lovely white broken-limbed Venus
lying voluptuously on her back
Mark’s son Cliff drove from Marin
And Megan joined us from her room
Mark’s parents and sister
Appeared via zoom from the East Coast
We had a great time TALKING
And eating Spaghetti (ritual requirement)
Then the other rituals of
Lighting the Candles
Making a Wish
Blowing out the Candles
Singing Happy Birthday
Eating Breyer’s Ice Cream and White Cake
Drinking Champagne
TALKING
And then Cliff drove home
Much later
A Social Security person
Left a message for Mark
To call her
Even left a phone number
And mentioned her office is in
Richmond!
Third time the charm
No more Suisun
We will cross the Carquinez Bridge
To Richmond
Soon
