i'm singin this borrowed tune


that i got from the rolling stones





alone in this empty room


too wasted to write my own




* * *

new year's day always strikes me as a weird and ghostly interzone


no longer yesterday


not quite tomorrow


there should be a day between 12/31 & 01/01


to recover


reflect


and


regroup






today's hangover is mainly psychic


and I want to nurse it


with copious grace



****


I'm climbin' this ladder


my head in the clouds


i hope that it matters


_______

Here's a glass


raised


in memory of yesterday


and anticipation of tomorrow
