Happy New Year!! 2023 …



Now, Tomorrow, and How
The afternoon before New Yearβs Eve
Before Two Thousand and Twenty Three
I am hanging out at the Box Office Cafe
Soaking up the swarmy summer sun
Lounging in a seductive sea breeze
The final day of the year
Has become almost perfect
And I am listening to the blarney tunes
Of the Irish band βFlogging Mollyβ
I am smiling, swaying, and dreaming
About now, tomorrow, and how
βMy empty hands are full
Of memories and rhymesβ *
* A quote from my book ‘Tullawalla’
