new
we had champagne at midnight
told each other's fortunes
with cookies
.
but that's it
.
otherwise
the torch must have passed
seamlessly
from hand to hand
.
I think the bearer is the same
I think there is no handing off
one year to the next
one minute to the next
midnight to midnight 01
.
torchbearer just keeps running
there was no obstacle to leap
.
we sat together
same old
same old
year, day, hour, minute, second
it's all
the same
.
the only new year
is in your mind
if you concentrate
and pretend
something changed
.
