Happy Anniversary

I have this mental picture of you
like Avril Lavigne
on the cover of Seventeen magazine
sporting a crew cut that's right out of
the no comparsion section of my
Sinead O'Connor scrapbook except

It's been 7 hours and 15
years to the day
and I'm more or less bald meself
save for the saving grace of greying temples
built to enshrine your fading memory
in capsulated solitude

Apart from the song that you are alluding to here, even I remember Sinead O'Connor only for her bald head and the trouble she got into with the Roman Catholic church.

in the profound words of elvis impersonators the world over, thank y' ver' muuuuch

and that would be the fifteenth anniversary of the break-up (as in the song Nothing Compares To You: "it's been 7 hours and 15 days since you took your love away")
