New Year’s Eve

brings out poseurs en masse

those who don’t drink

suddenly think they have to

and it makes no sense

trying to get money’s worth

on an inflated, overpriced ticket

suck down a few extra suds

make sure you get

what you paid for

you sure put it over

on the man

you sucked down well drinks

and foamy mugs of beer

swilling it down

another night at any bar

but if I wanted

to puke up my guts

I could have just stayed home

sucking down absinthe

and ringing in another year

another new year

that will gradually fade

as the brand new year

increasingly looks

alarmingly similar

to the year we just escaped
