people make such a fuss over New Year's

and maybe there's some good in that mass ritual

for what is really just another day in a series


and if there is some good in it

my own hope is to put the past to rest

to leave it in its place in my soul's biography


and to let it have as little bearing as possible

in my way forward


a fool's errand only if you're a fool

a wise man's assurance if he truly be wise


as ever it's on each of us

and if we wreck half of all we love to achieve that place


well so be it

we have assurances from the highest sources

that all will be well


and all manner of thing

will be well
