why do people say, "Happy New Year!" They state it as a fact not as a question. Some say, "Have a Happy New Year." This almost sounds like a command. Well, I say, have a miserable, horrible, rotten New Year, and try not to glow in the dark when Korea gets nuked...
"I like it Robin. Sounds like something I'd say.
Exactly parasite.
Actually what is a 'new year'? An arbitrary number on a calendar? BC, AC, 2017, 2018, 4038? All just meaningless numbers biological creatures cling to so as to mark historically the passage of 'time'.
I learned a loooooong time ago that time on this planet is absolutely meaningless. Days, weeks, months, years, centuries, millions, billions, trillions of 'years'. Ha! What a bunch of shit.
But, for this planet, tonight is New Years Eve and tomorrow will change from 2017 to a new number, 2018. To those who embrace such crap, have a Happy New year, maybe you'll become a famous writer, rich, healthy. Maybe you'll find love, or find that the one you hate, dies a miserable death thus making your life feel more enriched. Whatever floats your boat. I however, find such moments inspirational, and thus a 'new years poem'.

Passage of the water flows
From birth of a comet to the death of a comet
death and birth
birth and death
and why?
Who makes the laws decided when decisions cannot stop the waters
Flooding, torrential, weighted matters pertaining to such
this
this is the passage
of time.
Feeling star dust dissolve on the tip of the tongue as the snowflake melts
Feeling the heart beat, thumping muscle where it all stops
Feeling, tasting, smelling, hearing, thinking...
such folly in such
unless...
Unless and only one thinks of such thoughts
To feel alive and know why
To be and strive for to be a better being
and then
there is
time.
