between thirty-four

between thirty-four
and forty-eight, we are
celebrating birthdays
in the east village
tonight, stringing the
eighties to the nineties
from the jukebox in

time – for now, we
will rely on
booze and song

we made a pact,

we made a pact,
twenty days
into the new year,
that we would keep
our resolutions
simple – just
stay alive
.

obvious
we’ve never
had to make
resolutions before

it turns out that we

it turns out that we
all do it – the people with
whom we choose to have
a beer or four, well
into the night, post-
inauguration, whether
commiserating or
celebrating, are
stunningly
like us, in the ways
that make us all
weaker,
as we prop
each other up

before evening

before evening
ends and morning
begins, we will
gather for one
last round, our
bellies nine-tenths
golden
, dreams
four-fifths clearer
