Here lies, like a blanket over you and me,
The very last day of a year passed;
In hope, despair, love, and anguish -
Of the human spirit; and spiritual sacrifice.
Here we are - celebrating, as we should
Remembering, whom we must
Writing, what was written on the walls
Singing, songs of smoke and air.
We, inhabitants of the Universe-indifferent
We, the signature of intelligence
We, vectors of life, and of lifelessness
Here we are - staring through smog, into images.
As we breathe in droplets of reality,
A world has changed - clothes or skin, I know not
I stand, naked, on the edge of oblivion, as ever -
The only difference; we're both here, together.
