Day is Over

So this is New Year’s Eve
and what have you done?
What have you accomplished in the last three hundred and sixty five
other than staying alive?
What achievements have you knocked out
that you aren’t just going to have to put
back on your Resolutions List
this next time around?

I’ve got Get Healthier
Be Smarter
and Do Less Crimes
already down on my list.
Not quite sure what else to add.
Maybe Do Less RIsky, Low Reward Crimes.
That seems to be the sweet spot.

But looking back
what’s been figured out?
Did you fix any of those old tense friendships?
Requite any of those loves?
Did you write any of those novels?
Get any of those raises?
Gain your grandmother’s respect?
How many third-worlders did you adopt this year?
What did you do?

Yeah, I’ve been wondering, too
and I’ve got a few hours left
to get all the answers.
