A Domesday Counting

x

It’s a count of calendars:

For some, the year

Has started with Advent

Or the solstice

x

There is the Jewish calendar

(look at the cornerstones

of buildings),

The Islamic calendar,

And the Chinese calendar

That will incite fireworks

As well

x

There are those who count

The days by weather

And the local seasons

x

We’ll watch and listen to

The fireworks in Sydney;

We’ll note the islands

Near Fiji where

The dateline says

The new year starts

x

All of our computers will

Tell us that it’s started

Not to mention resolutions

And all the sauerkraut

x

Which is to say

The new year is relative;

It is traditional
