the second half
Dec 30, 2022
when you’re old
the new year
feels like a gift
one you want
to open slowly
and savor to
make it last
but its days are
like an extended
advent calendar
leading up to
your now closer
date of death
each of those
little suckers
should be
ripped out of
their wrappings
with great gusto
