another monday here, in january

another goosebump on my skin

another's premade adversary

as another year begins

another battle with the clock

another year around the sun

another chance that we'll unlock

the answers yet to come

another shot at glory

another promise to be more

another chapter to our story

to be better than before

january came without a calendar

it needs no chit to mark it's time

it runs on what if's and rememberings

arranging inflected paradigms

keeping on track the ways of measuring

the length of time and what will be

holding each season, quarterly

by months added in threes

another day for checks and balances

another sunrise and sunset

another new year filled with promises

for the ones not fulfilled yet

So, here's to a plethora of another's

some we long for some we dread

may we discover a lifetimes' wonder

in the new days that lie ahead
