morning
the cold misery of a new year with nothing to look forward to for months can now begin

hurrah :(

the new year
a jolt of urgency as the eyes creak open
the brain's sour fog boils off to feel
the ache and stiffness in the limbs,
drear cold slathered over every face,
the lights and joy of shoppingtide
now the dying flashes of morning's migraine
awakened on a piss-frosted park bench
after the chemical tramp cider that was last year.
