The time stamp
is "5:16 AM"
but the date reads
APRIL 16
Mother,
today is your
only grandson's birthday
He is responsible
for two
of your seven
great-grandchildren
They live in Brooklyn
I have never met
his wife
though I've been told
"she is a work of art"
Your living daughter
is
"71 going on 39"
Her youngest
—named after YOU—
just gave birth
to my sister's
seventh grandchild
The first-born
of your living daughter
married inter-racially
and as a result
their non-twin offspring
are cuter than
a basket of chips
Her middle daughter
has fraternal twins,
just like today's birthday boy
I am certain
his birthday
is being celebrated
in one or more
of four states
[NY, MD, PA, VA]
This image of YOU
has cropped out
everyone but your Father,
the custom tailor
who designed suits
for the Everly Brothers
et al
My Dad was cropped
because he is too busy
with the Heavenly Mafia
to guarantee
no evil falls upon
anyone of the living
related to you
not named
"Paul Edward Oliverio"
The other people
cropped from this
ANASTASIO OCTET
photograph
pity all those under thirty
unfamiliar with
Phil + Don Everly
but
most of that age group
are somewhat familiar
with the four lads
from Liverpool
the Everly Brothers
helped traverse
Across the Universe
PS
Happy Googling to anyone
who ignored the title
of this page and
please remember
Love is All You Need

Thanks 4 being full of Grace
