+ 9TH POEMS: A Poem For January 1st, 2026

I am glad the arrival of two thousand twenty-six:

it is the fiftieth anniversary

of the most transformative and extraordinary

year of my life, nineteen seventy-six;

the year "Fairy Jerry" was excized from being my identity;

and, despite the discouragements of local pricks and kicks,

the year I became devout to Poetry.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The sixth line alludes to Acts 26:14.
