"For Your 21st Birthday..."


I ate a soccer ball in your honor.


And drank water
imported from England.



And though Japan is lovely,
it could do with a bit more red hair.


When your feet touch American soil
{sixty-nine days from now}
live in the moment.
And eat a real cheeseburger.
Happy birthday, my best friend.
