another year

image by dsnake1


the march of time. the ticking of the clock & all that jazz and old cliches.
so i am a year older today.
blase, nonchalant.
until my kid gives me this mp3 player.
out of her own savings.
happy birthday, she says.
you know how to play this thing?

you bet i do, love.
and yeah, it makes all the tough times worthwhile.
