The Day Before The Day Before
It's two days before the New Year begins. The New Year. The old year. Days. Arbitrary markers of time. Dr. Kumar disagreed with me about arbitrary markers. The planets he said. There they are.
In half an hour I will leave this room for the day conscious in a way I don't understand of New Year soon in two days we will toast one another we should always toast one another with champagne mourn deep tragedies so many this year plan what we can do to change this mysterious word even a little many of us will look up on New Year's eve maybe see fireworks and we will know then that the sky is right there where it always is sky's right there.
