new time

its 2009.

resolution? non-existent.

or perhaps they're jumbled inside, and i can't undo the tangles.

it's a new year, a "landmark."

show me what you've got.

2008 has left me feeling indifferent:

i've loved,

i have grown up

i've scratched lovely flesh

i've stopped combing my hair

i've smoked

i've collected something from somewhere

i've 'thrifted'

i have slept all day

i haven't slept at all

i have turned the light off

i have welcomed new faces

i have turned my back on old

i have driven

i have heard this shutter snap

i have fixed film advance

i have failed

i have aced

i have held my breath, and patiently waited for a new chance

and i have been given a new year - what do i do with that?
