By the stars, we
Congratulate
Each the other for
Surviving to see
Yet another new
Year, as if we’d
Built it from a kit or
Played any part
In creating it.
Had we a crumb
Of humility
What would we
Really see?
Nothing more stirring
Than the endless
Whirring of our
Perpetual arbitrary
Bureaucracy.
Collectively we
Add up our days
While, individually,
Our allotted sum
Ratchets down from
Some to none.
