New Year Countdown Poem 2022: 28. Neither Now, Nor Later


We are in that not time,
Neither this year nor next,
Nether holiday nor working, 
Some strange point,
Between the vale of years..
The gap where tv goes strange,
Daytime merges with night,
And all that sparkles,
Is no longer Christmas Lights.
But onwards we go,
Towards the next celebration,
A day of such promise,
Another clean slate,
A year to try again.
