new year's day
deciding what to resolve
that's not a pipe dream

today's mission-
dragon stamp and inks,
more gift baskets

start of holiday prep-
bags for work folks
New Year's postcards

past year-
filled with ups and downs
just glad tostill be here

funeral nonsense
wishing I could get the event
into a screenplay

death in the family
discussing with siblings
how to farm out five kids

afternoon dance class
drilling footwork basics
having to backlead
