Hannah's Birthday

Hannah was born
near midnight
and we weren't told
until this funny early morning.

I've gotten to know
most of the day
after all I've lived a while.
But even for me
the day has it's
kinky hours

when the home
of my daily footsteps
feels like a hotel
as if I'm visiting a new city
on business
and I don't know a soul.

Unexpected tasks
at unexpected times I do;
and even with the possibility
of being served by strangers
with big smiles
I feel hungry
and there is no
sunny weather.
