Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on September 10, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Morton! Another year older, yet your words remain timeless—much like the Big Winds that still blow readers away and those Glass Mornings that never shatter. Your poetry continues to soar higher than When People Could Fly, and your prose remains sharper than ever—Brezhnev himself would envy such wit!

Here's to celebrating a life spent Striking Through The Masks of ordinary existence. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given us through Shadows Cast by Stars and Where the Oceans Cover Us. Keep inspiring us all with your boundless creativity—and remember, poets don't age; they just rhyme better!
