ten nine...etc.

let's pretend
it's new year's
eve. here, put
on this hat. take
this horn and
blow it. let's
start the countdown,
i'll get
the champange
and the paper
and pen with which
we can write down
our resolutions
again, but let's
make them easier
this time,
nothing about
weight loss, or
being on time,
or making more
money, or being
polite to strangers.
no promises we
can't keep to
one another. make
them easy and fun.
more cake, more
sleep, more love,
less boredom.
