(ah, the things written at 5am
the wild challenges made
in the spoiled electric light
betwixt pillow and dawn)


for the next year
i am going to tell you how magnificent you are
in three hundred and sixty five completely unique ways
not to make you fall in love
but simply because i think someone should
and in both language and courage
i find i am able

and because it incenses me
that someone as incredible as you
could ever imagine that a single day passed
where you were not appreciated
for all the wonderful ways
you make this world
an infinitely better place


(that's one...)
