Resolutions, I Reckon

I resolve, she said, to abstain from running naked down the boulevard.

That’s no decent resolution, said he, since not doing that won’t be too hard.

Ha! she said, You’ve no idea of the urge I have to disrobe every night,

And jog joyfully down Monroe street clothed in nothing but moonlight.

In that case, he smiled sincerely, I hope this resolution breaks,

And I’ll wait for you on the capitol steps no matter how long it takes.

2016

  
I’m working on my resolutions. So far, I’ve written

1) Invent an affordable flying car

2) Take flying car for a spin

That’s about it. Go big or go home, right?

  

January: Note to Self

Don’t give me excuses
For losing resolutions
Wimpy, downtrodden
Promises to self.

Instead, hold my fingers
To the flame
Keep me accountable
For once.

Steady, steady girl
You can do this
Take one last long
Look at yesterday.

Gone like every other
Past minute, past hour
Filled with chances
Some gained, some lost.

What now? Only some
Promises are worthy
Of keeping for
Any length of time:

Love more, worry less
Share everything
Care for everyone.
Nothing else even matters.

Peace, People.
