Written by Phillip Woodruff
to the year that has passed and all its happenstance
so long
to all the crosswords left unsolved
farewell
to the books i stack everywhere
have faith
to the sky that does not know if it wants to rain or snow
may you find peace
to my neighbor who rakes the leaves that fall from my tree on his lawn
i wave from my window
to all the dead batteries in the back of the desk drawer
i’m sure we’ll meet again
to last year’s new year’s eve seven-layer dip on the bottom shelve of the fridge
sorry i let you down
to the empty gum wrapper blowing around in the gutter
enjoy your travels
to the cable tv news and the loons who scream on the bus
good show
to all the potholes on east alameda avenue that never get fixed
stay true
and to the new year that approaches with all its nervous verve
i say
ok
