The Birthday Boy


now we can take the flat champagne out of the frig,
refizz it and add the orange juice that I bought 
a couple months ago when Stephen was sick,
Mimosas a Sunday morning after our Saturday night
dinner with friends, where we all were ready for bed
at 9.
That's what 49 looks like.
Oh,and that's what 60 looks like on top of that.
A sign of wisdom, a flexibility and resilience
to handle such vagaries of aging,
fizz makers!
