insandouts of Days and Notdays

#nationaldayof…..

#anythingyouwantittobe

You get excited about some
and want me to join you

I’m no different

Except I AM different
and I want you to…

cheer
applaud
bestow a brotherly
fistpoundontheback

hug me

notice me
acknowledge me

me
me
me

then I smother the self-absorption
extinguish the ego
assume the misalignment of algorithms
pullupmybigboypants

and realize I
never
celebrated
#nationalchickenandwafflesday
with
you.

I’m sorry.

to me it was just August 5th

I’ll still give you a fist pound
and wipe the syrup off your chin
if you want

on October 12th

Happy Columbus Day
er, Native American Day
umm, Indigenous Peoples Day

There.

That works.

for me.
