The old year’s last nocturnal passage ends with
the same exhaustion as the revelers'
and the New Year’s first dawn arrives
almost completely unwitnessed. Half the planet is
living in the other half’s future yet receive
no insight that provides them with advantage.
For day after day and night after night, man
learns nothing that can save him from himself.
Caught up in tangential concerns about past events
and preoccupied with the distractions of climate
change, nuclear annihilation, and alien life, mankind
employs all effort to erase the image and likeness
he was created in.
