ANOTHER BLIND LEAP.

So an extra day came
And went,
And where did it take us
Other than
Into another,

But one
That’s hopped and skipped
Itself further along
The calendar
Than last year,

And so we have an extra
24 hours in the bank
To be thankful for
Or damn
Once more

For being wasted
In haste
When the need
Was for speed
To breeze us through it

In renewal
And hope
That the next
Would connect us
Again.
