I don't usually do this, but I thought I'd share some original content* here tonight. Happy New Year.

.

This time I'm Really Going to Do It, I swear, I'll

  lose ten pounds and work out
  every other day plus run except
  on Sundays starting today I mean
  tomorrow I mean heck 
  it's already December might
  as well wait for the New 
  Year I'm going to charge
  into that fresh baby arms
  upright confetti flying everywhere
  hit it like a finish line this year. 
  I'll break that ribbon in 
  tatters this year I'm going to
  go to the gym this year I'll
  shave more than just
  the hair off my legs I'm going
  to fall in love this
  year I'll float like seafoam at
  the sunrise I'll be beautiful this
  is the year
  I'll do it

  I swear

* Why don't I usually do this? Publishing rights, my friend. I'm sorry, but every poem I put up here becomes a poem I can't submit to 90% of literary magazines, print or online. Otherwise I would share more. Unfortunately it means anything I think is pretty good I tend to be selfish about. I happen to think this one's pretty good, but love you all enough that I figured "fuck it. have it." I have been enjoying the New Years posts. I guess I thought I'd join in the fun.

for humano, if you see it, i expect my line breaks may annoy you. i'm still working on them for this poem. some of them aren't right. some of them are.
