Springtime tree branches dangle like
greedy fingers, tickling the hair of
absent-minded

preparing
for final exams like
hamsters on crank, running the wheel.
The wheel continues
spinning
but
the hamster is dead.

What if no birth happens?
To remember that our collective human experience is woven into the fabric of a vast and intricate tapestry. Reflecting on the universal phenomenon of birthdays, we find ourselves confronted with the humbling reality of our existence. Despite the individual significance we attach to our special day, the sheer volume of births occurring globally serves as a reminder of our shared humanity. On any given day, hundreds of thousands of babies enter the world, each one adding to the tapestry of human history.
