2009 [Jennifer Michael Hecht]

The snow is bipolar in Brooklyn today.  

Yes, I mean that all four ways.  

Day before 2009.  It’s almost the end 

of the year on shiny eye glasses 

double zero for eyes. 

Try that in 2010.

You'd be striped blind. 

See?  I celebrate all that we have.

My constant kissing of the reader

disturbs.  Shall I also overkiss

my bleader?  Yes.  Tsk.  This.

Yes.  This is your New Years kiss.

[DS McCoy]

Looking through time as Romans never could,
we enter another year of rounded excess,
before unity divides the nothingness,
to overwhelm the plague of ought.
