But there is hope.
Ms. Louisiana
quietly discerning, smiling dumb
smiling eyes, while the throat has a lump
pre-programmed reaction plan
undetectable unless one can
there wasn't a happy soul in sight
on own one does with might
secluded, crying unbeknownst
lest others overlook the tears ensconced
continual search for oasis
we're met with crises
even though, more so,
as things do come and go
reveal from one's own stash
unflinching hope in this land of mirage
do not imagine the end in sight
hope we'll get this New Year right.
