51

Birthday is June 30.

Odd but not prime
3 and 17 are in my prime
Which seems closer to my age
Sometimes
Though experience
Or lack thereof
Tells me otherwise
Odd
Things for a man to do
Dance and read children's books
Write nonsense verse
Work retail
I want to be different, but
I want to relate
Odd but not prime
To see is not to know
To know takes time
It is emotions and intellect
How they weave and separate
Is ongoing
A part of the fabric
Darn
Release
Stitch.
