most other years
i struggle a bit with writing
the old year vs. the new
but typing i’ve always gotten used to it
just a wee bit faster

(indeed, last year, i could not WAIT
to add that tiny line
that indicated
the entire year of March
was finally done)

but i’ve gone multiple days
(near half a month)
this year
and keep forgetting to switch
that 1 to a 2

and…

is that some sort of omen???
