A 'birthday' initials one's birth or the 'birth' of each one's works (poems)
A 'berth day' harbors either one's 'return' and/or the place to hold one's
work(s). (poems).
Am I making too much 'poetry' out of that last line, Andrew?
I like the poem - tho I think there is no doubt much more breeding going on
in those expat ghettoes and filthy clouds, let alone all the sources feeding
the China Post and its signature pen.
