A Year From Now

what expects us in the New Year?
something fair and unfair,
something nice and something bad,
a new Lotus on a mat,
a new Star in the sky,


a new Truth and a new Lie,
a new Wind and a new Tide,
a new Walk and a new Ride,
a new run and a new go-round,
a new Song sung aloud,
a new Picture, a new Poem,
a new Movie, a new kind of Knowing,
a new Dance, a new Invention,
a new type of the Pretence,
a new kind of th' unknown Sense,
a new Reward, a new Offence,
many pencils, many pens-


something soft and something tense,

in the Past and the Future Tense,

somewhat shallow and somewhat dense,

marked by a non-seen fence,

for the beautiful defense.

and all that, and all that

will be known to a Grey Cat,

to a friend of human creatures

who possess some better features,

who like honey, who like peaches,

those who are taught and those who teaches.
