87 years old (Born on May 09, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Charles Simic! May your day be filled with endless blues—but only the poetic kind. You've dismantled silence and forecasted utopias; surely, blowing out candles should be a breeze for someone who turned surrealism into Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry.

Your words have shown us that "The World Doesn't End," but thankfully neither does our admiration for your wit and wisdom. Here's hoping today's celebration is as delightfully unpredictable as one of your poems—full of humor, insight, and perhaps just a touch of existential irony. Cheers to another year crafting verses that keep reality wonderfully off-balance!
