a new year's resolution
by Scot Siegel
Is there such a thing?
Can it happen more than once?
What if it happens every day?
and has nothing to do with lust,
or envy
or democracy
or god
forsake
our country…
This is how I might strike-up a new conversation
with the world
If we can do it all over again
but differently…
