New
years are a chance for a beginning
Even when there hasn't been an end.
Wheels turn in an interminable bend,
Yet, marked in one spot, seem to wobble spinning.
Each year we hope to do a little better
Although we know that really nothing's
changed.
Reason often is from hope estranged,
So we must dream if we would fate
unfetter.
