A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

First Person
My Birthday
by Judith Pittman

Ah, a day without a period
of silence
or a question that can be
answered in a short
stanza of word.
It is a day not of
blank shortness
but of simple design.
I have not words and
sometimes words are
not from my mouth but listening
to other words of my
father.

About the author:
I'm a poet from Austin, TX.
