New year’s resolutions

How apt. A bright snow
white day cleans the slate for our
future perfect selves.

New Year’s Day

In optimism
we cross the starting line of
the rest of our lives.

 

Fiscal cliff

Cost to average
household: Five thousand. Voting
the bums out: Priceless.

 

New Year’s Eve: ball drop

If we look ahead
in hope, optimism,
then shouldn’t the ball rise?

New Year’s Eve: things left undone

Now’s the time to look
back at what was forgotten
and recall with love.

Visitors to a dead blog

WordPress stats: twenty-
two-thousand views in ’12. This
despite no new posts.

Days blink by, all gone.

Bad trim, worse blow dry.
Pitying looks from strangers.
Do I cut and run?
