It came a day earlier than the plan actually
anticipated & with explanatory antecedent
not exactly rumour-endowed - or even the
logical draft, well not for me; as lame duck
adrift on this occasion, parsing a spoof by
playing daft doesn’t pay dividends - not if
you want the day to have meaning; that’s
what birthday’s are supposed to be
Thus Saturday came a surprise - a coffee
visit supposedly, unexplained just in case
our two lads were late arriving from NSW -
it was the way they planned th’ morning; I
hadn’t anticipated my sons’ arrival, so can
bless intrigue so clandestinely discrete
Sunday was to be my 70th birthday, yet it
arrived sooner than its granted tacit plan;
but we’d never want to change a thing, in
reality this surprise decorated space we’d
recently painted but with greater nostalgic
beauty than we’d have ever dreamed
