Mark had this poem, which I have no memory of writing. How long we have loved each other!
Hi Mark
If I had 3 hours to write your birthday poem
it would take that long,
If I had 3 years I couldn't say enough,
If I had 3 $ million I would buy you a radio station,
a river
& a snowstorm.
But all of these you have had
today
It's easy when you know how
You really are beautiful (an unpoetic but heartfelt line).
there's 5 hours & 8 minutes of the day
February 19 1979
left, our mothers in our hometowns
are thinking about us,
their ears are read & there [sic] hearts are green,
they sail in christmas trees like balloons (
