364 Days To Look Away
The New Year’s Day is just another day.
It does not mark the beginning or the end
of the Earth’s rotations – but don’t dismay!
On any given day you may transcend!
In any moment you may turn about.
Resolute, don’t deny if there’s defect,
apply the free will with which you’re endowed,
don’t wait for 2018 to correct!
Perhaps you think that one day is enough –
in some cases, perhaps even too much –
to take a hard look inward and rebuff
those habits which you’ve come to enjoy so much.
And you've three hundred, and sixty-four days
in which you need not contemplate your ways!
Happy New Year!
