| Happy New Year from the Citizen Rosebud. |
11.
The 21st century is now a ten year old
& we are dipping our cold feet
into the icy waters of a new decade.
& we are dipping our cold feet
into the icy waters of a new decade.
YOU, my friends,
are breathing the air of the future.
YOUR future.
And drunk on the new
you are clumsily kissing
the year
that every yesterday proclaimed
a tomorrow.
Elevenses.
Ah, but the minutes,
the hours, the days
are turgidly kissing you back.
Ardently.
Ah, but the minutes,
the hours, the days
are turgidly kissing you back.
Ardently.
Urgently.
The tablet is blank, your tabula rasa,
waiting to be writ upon.
waiting to be writ upon.
All hopes and dreams (naked & wet)
lay coiled, panther silent
in the hunger of your fingertips:
lay coiled, panther silent
in the hunger of your fingertips:
inky tigers dreaming
the alphabet of the impossible.
the alphabet of the impossible.
-Bella Q
Happy New Years, Friends!
