An Anti-resolvers Resolve
I will not make another diluted, New Year’s resolution,
promising to be better than the day before,
vowing to stay continents away, from the fake designer shoe stores,
or gleefully filing my gut, with delectable sweets,
causing my backside to swell, at the sight of each sugary treat
Still, I do not promise to give up, give in, give more or give less
of anything I own or possess.
It is my intention to walk daily, with my goals and promises
and stop to reflect internally, in the event that I miss.
I will not regurgitate another intoxicated resolution,
of guarantees to save the world.
No, I won’t listen attentively, while anyone else dispels
his or her solutions to the ills of society,
unless they are uttered daily, far far from January.
Resolutions are absolutely, just not for me
and I will not commit to a single one;
save the goal not to resolve at all,
while watching Dick Clark’s, Rockin’ New Year’s Eve.
