CHOOSING THE DAY-a poem 1-1-17


The first day of the year
Is a time for good cheer
A time to hope and to dream
A time for ice cream

But time is a trickster, a joker
A mushroom smoker
An hypocrisy stoker
A cruel dream choker

Pick your stanza above
One of loss, one of love

One flows so shallow and thin
A fool’s lopsided grin
One so deep and profound
Full philosophical sound

But remember the memes
Time is not what it seems
One stanza to win, one to lose
It’s mine, yours, to choose…
