prayer
and a song for peace
and
how much more to say except
a war without
our Congress calling it
and certainly without invasion
first
so we’ll need to be praying
all around
in
mourning for the losses
frankly
against the greed
and
vanity involved
with something about more terms
in
office
deceptively in play
wartime culture to manipulate
while in the church we’ll pray
and serve for
cessation
by the forgiveness and repentance
of
a nation

goodness
a new decade
and
as the math should complement
by ten
one for me as well
later on
but yours is the accomplishment
and
or course more so
what you’ve done with time
career
house
home
the family
with your best helper make
and increase
a litany of good things
and
even more of people
come into and go on to be affected
well
by you
and I’m sorry for the pains
though there are
rewards
tangible by rooms and other
assets
and what might better go uncounted
good people
and
good times
and in your time
you’ve sponsored these
with
your own knowing of your
self
and treats to come
this day
and days of growth
as well as simple pleasures
happy
birthday
to
begin
what is this moment and
what’s next

Science Fiction Day
and
who decides
though it’s a good
day
to
note
regardless
all these worlds
crafted
and co-crafted
to use together
use
in peace
and shall we try new pages
remembering
the gold
and
thus inspired

irony of happy
(1 January)
but there’s
the priest who from a sermon
said
leave one Christmas decoration out
it will drive your
neighbors
crazy
and so for those who think all
lights must come down
a happy
and
decorous new year to you
