New Years Resolution
Someday when I am thin, well-read,
with flaws but Lilliputian,
I will forgo the yearly farce
of New Year's resolution
whereby as clock hands join as one
I promise, once they've parted,
a better day, a better year,
for me will then get started,
and yet I know this day won't come;
the earth will keep revolving,
and I will make myself content
to be here still resolving.
