“I miss you in the long afternoons...” felt this. Blue Pain too - just as concrete a feeling as the Mean Reds.

Happy bday Wild American Boy. Hope it’s a beautiful, wild amazing day.

Happiest Birthday Alex! This poem is even further proof that you are truly a brilliant Poet. Bravo! Wishing you a healthy, happy, curious, memorable & successful new year. Per an earlier exchange regarding Wilde, you are forever 29. Celebrate!
