The end of '08

Seemingly overnight-- or more accurately-- the wkend before X-mas wk, a bunch of people got into the holiday spirit & threw up their decors. So the city did end up looking a lot more festive than i thought it would. Anyway, i'm really looking forward to next yr. I have great expectations for myself. Here's a fragment of a poem i started... to be continued @ some point in '09. Or maybe not.

I feel like hatin' on '08
but i won't,
i'd like to start off the
next year
with a dark slate
brushed clean of dust, dirt
the dander of so much
disappointment...
