I would never have suspected
When we met ages ago
Under such unfortunate circumstances
That you would become so truly dear to me
And now, in my failure in viewing your triumph
I feel like I've wronged you profusely
Though, of course, that was not my attempt
And I am very very sorry
But beyond my short-comings
There is this kindred-ship I feel with you
That I think was materialized in that thing up there
That first I saw and then I missed, of my own stupidity
No, but there's this thought
Immortalized in the show 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'
(You'd like it, it's about a drag-queen rockstar's life)
The idea that the pain embedded in someone's soul-
Can be strikingly similar to pain embedded in yours
And I think, not just that, but that and our triumphs nurtured by SPCPA-
That is what makes us kindred spirits
And I am so glad to have you in my life, truly
And although this really isn't much of a birthday card/present/poem
I wanted you to know how glad I am to be your friend
