expiration date

0blong mirror stares at plastic bristles sliding down strands of hair. It’s
8 pm. I’m thanking the sun for setting
16 minutes earlier today than yesterday, reminding me to forget the past
2 minutes— tomorrow they’ll be gone anyway.
0r at least, realize that my father forgot my birthday,
0nly six days after its occurrence. I don’t feel bad. I feel I’m going bad—
5 days past due.

I don't want to take the post too literally, but did I miss your birthday?
