he couldn't believe how easy it was
he blew out the candles on the birthday cake
flicker!
(dammit they got those trick candles)
people do have birthdays you know
a lifetime of parties on may 17th leading up to the big three-oh
all the frosting's blue on this cake
the most unnatural shade of neon blue
all sugary
falling off of the spork...
