2008

The year is rocking on its heels
and you're remembering the things you did
or didn't do - for each year feels the same
these days, now love affairs are few
and lovers far between and nobody's died
that meant that much.

In fact this decade's nearly done
who'd have thought it would slip by without
fanfare when we saw it in, the sky blitzed alight
with all those fireworks, how we turned on our pc's
thinking some extravagant fault had got them
as millenniums swapped places in the dark.

And still we plan, resolve, can't help
the buzz of new beginnings fizzing up, filling us.
The year an untouched stretch of water, virgin snow
for us to make our imprint, make our waves.
