Kiss Me At Midlight

Kiss Me At Midnight
David J Walker

Ring out the old 
Spill into the streets and strain to see
The new year rise with the commemorative sun 
In your eyes

See if your name is listed 
in the everyday agenda
of the new year

It’s next year somewhere said
The News-man with the spayed hair 
on the 
75-inch Video Screen  

Do me a Party Favor and 
Kiss me at Midnight 
		Hold me tight and 
Make me love you more 
in that brand new moment 
		the annual renewal of an original event
They have paper hats now for everything

Tell me you believe everything will be better 
With a new calendar 
Tell me you can foresee the coming weeks 
Of better days without end
How quickly may we dismiss and forget 
The past year 
Will you be my reminder not to
Remember 
Will you consent to be my kinder  
Gentler future
