It’s okay 01–01
Be gentle on yourself
It’s okay 01–01,
you woke up with headaches and confusion
writing 018 at bottoms of signatures
creates confusion on 01–01–19
be gentle with yourself
expectations unlikely to be met
because life trails you like streams
of non-resistance you yearn to be
born anew but waking up
you saw another day couldn’t fathom
why 01–01 felt like 12–31
the oddities and tribulations
how can this be so?
Life endeavors moving forth
yet there is never a true fresh start.
We must live with the human condition
brain fog in mornings and perhaps
expectations dashed for a ‘difference’
of the 01–01- yet you feel much like
yesterday, hopes alternating
electrical currents,
your brain cannot comprehend why
01–01 is such as yet,
I tell you this,
always be prepared for the expected.
