Autumn Birthdays
Birthdays in autumn meant,
for most of them,
I went to school
staring out the window,
watching leaves fall
wishing for the final bell,
bus home, eat supper,
and have angel food cake
with candles all around,
like kids playing ring-
around-the-rosy at recess,
and then open presents,
play with whatever toy I got
till bedtime, then school again.
