BANG
Time rolls thunder:
clouds clash
as this year confronts the next.
I, a loathsome spectator
to this prodigious spectacular --
a duel of godly proportions.
This year marked by tsunamis and hurricanes,
earthquakes and gas prices;
This year, witness to a war paid with blood,
and lives plagued with bad luck.
The next fitted with potential and possibility;
boding timely well-wishes and resurrecting tired cliches;
The next, expectant at our doorsteps,
bearing allusions to auld lang syne.
I watch the fireworks and cast an inane wager --
in the morning,
it will be done.
