Happy New Year

Another year has passed

Happy memories 

counted on one hand

Like a constant cold rain

or playing in an unknown band

I sit here on the new year's eve

looking out at the drab day

An impenetrable gray sky

not a single sun's ray

Will tomorrow be different?

Is there hope lodged deep inside?

I sigh an contemplate a drink

 as I watch the past year float in 

formaldehyde
