Thunder
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear--
Even though you don't know my name
Your smug smile floats
self-important over me.
I don't know how,
But you look up at me
And down on me
at the same time.
You're like thunder
After midnight
When the world is all asleep
, even those who aren't asleep
sleep through you.
But you're important and massive
A huge existence ignored by the world
You are smug to know
how immense you are--
in comparison to the rest of us.
Us is such a strange word.
How these two tiny, curving symbols
Can mean a mass of people
, an indefinite number
is unbelievable.
You are unbelievable
Your existence is too big to go unnoticed
But the deep rumble in the dark
means nothing to us, who didn't hear it.
Happy birthday to you.
