HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I arrive to live in Asia.
After ‘Hello’, these words pierce my heart:
“Are you alone?”
“Where’s your husband?”
I rapidly spiral into the dangerous dark depths of existential frenzy.
“Who am I?”
I just left my country.
I’m all a lone
I have no county, no home, no car, no cat, no family.
And where is my husband?
Who will find me when I fall dead on the kitchen floor?
I wrestle with these questions until Love’s Light wins.
“Are you alone?”
“No. I’m with you.”
“Where’s your husband?”
“I don’t know! Have you seen him?”
“Are you alone?”
“No. I’m with Me, Myself, and I.
“Are you alone?”
“No.
IAM All ONE
(Sung, in a blues style yet upbeat)
]Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to me
Everyday we are born
Everyday we are free
Yeaahya
