[ Today Is The 1st Day Of This New Year ]
[ Who Knows In Which Direction ]
[ That Fate Will Steer ]
[ Will It Be South, East, West, Or North? ]
[ Either Way, You Are Told To Go Forth ]
[ & Prosper? ]
[ To Act Proper? ]
[ Then Do What? ]
[ Undercut? ]
[ Kiss Alot Of Butt? ]
[ From All That You Know ]
[ You Do Not Think So ]
[ Do You Have Places To Go & People To See? ]
[ You Know That It Is Getting Cold Outside ]
[ You Were Told As Such, By Your Knee ]
[ Everytime It Is Going To Rain, Your Right Leg Doesn’t Want
To Walk ]
[ When It Is Cold Outside That Is When Your Knee Will Talk ]
[ Starting The New Year Out With Your Knee Hurting ]
[ When Your Knee Hurts, You Are Not Good @ Diverting ]
[ Why Would People Come To See You When It Is Cold? ]
[ Whenever Your Knee Hampers You ]
[ You Start To Act Really Old ]
[ You Almost Have To Use A Cane ]
[ Needing Assistance To Walk Is Something You Disdain ]
[ Maybe You Should Live In A Warmer State ]
[ In That Case ]
[ You Could Narrow Your List To Less Than (8) ]
[ You Probably Should Have Rehab’d It More ]
[ You Should Have Gone The Full (10) ]
[ Instead Of Just (4) ]
[ Now When The Weather Becomes Colder ]
[ You Start To Feel So Much Older ]
[ You Cannot Do Anything About It Now ]

[ When New Years Eve Starts To Be Later I Wonder If This
Is The End, Or The Start Of A New Year? ]
[ That Answer Has Never, Ever Been Very Clear ]
[ Kind Of Fuzzy Actually ]
[ Where Do I Go To Get This Factually? ]
[ Who Wants To Bring In The New Year Bent Over A Toilet? ]
[ That Would Be Nobody You Have Ever Met ]
[ This Is What You Would Call A Conundrum ]
[ Whoever Has The Answer, Remains Mum ]
[ You’d Like To Think That Is Not The End ]
[ It Is A New Start ]
[ Whatever Is Able To Mend ]
[ Might Be Somebody’s Broken Heart ]
[ Broken Down & Defeated ]
[ Their Bank Account Got Depleted ]
[ Nobody Wants To Start Out The New Year Broke ]
[ You’re Like That Wounded Bear ]
[ That Someone Just Poked ]
[ Everytime The Bear Tries ]

(029)▪︎[ The New? … 1•8•2022 ]
[ Sometimes The Ones That Motivate You The Most ]
[ Are The Ones That Believe In You The Least ]
[ Those Are The Ones That You Toast ]
[ When Looking @ The Stars In The East ]
[ You Cannot Please, Most Of The People, All Of The Time ]
[ But When You Are In For A Nickel ]
[ You Should Be In It For A Dime ]
[ When You Look Deep Down Into Your Soul ]
[ Do You See Fire ]
[ Or Do You See Unused Coal? ]
[ Never Write, What You Do Not Mean ]
[ Never Be In Public, When Making A Scene ]
[ You Should Gather Up All Of That Unused Fuel ]
[ Use It & Love It ]
[ Like It Is A Priceless Jewel ]
[ Project Your Voice, As If You Were Using A Megaphone ]
[ If You Don’t Know How To Use It ]
[ Ask For It To Be Shown ]
[ Insist That Family Comes First ]
[ No Matter Your Own Hunger ]
[ No Matter Your Own Thirst ]
[ Life Does Not Come With A Remote Control ]
[ Nobody Wants Someone To (ROCK) ]
[ When They Should (ROLL) ]
[ There Is Never A (MUTE) Button When It Is Needed ]
[ But If They Do Go Quiet ]
[ You Have Succeeded ]
[ Success Is Measured Differently By Each Person That
Seeks It ]
[ Some Get Flowers & Awards ]
[ While Others Just Get Shit ]
[ You Can Never Gauge Loss Unless You Have Winners ]
[ You Cannot See Angels ]
[ If You Can’t See Sinners ]
[ Because You Cannot Know How Much You’ve Got ]
[ Until The Winning Has Stopped ]
[ Possessions Are Not The Measurement On Which You Are
A Man ]
[ Or All Of His Failures ]
[ Or All That He Can ]
[ A Man Should Be Measured By What He Reflects In The Mirror ]
[ Are His Eyes Clear? ]
[ Is He Filled With Fear ]
[ About Losing All That He Holds Dear? ]
[ That Would, Should & Could Be The Norm ]
[ In A Breakable Form ]
