Roadtrip 1/01/2008

Looking back at 365 days of the past
today is 9 hours away from yesterday
from last year
undifferent in color, taste, or general feeling
reminding me of the let down I felt
the first time I entered Illinois
I thought the colors would be different
like on the maps
the let down that nothing was different
illinois to wisconsin
2007 to 2008

I lost the handle on 2007
somewhere near the border
The Zeitgeist of 2008
will be mine
I will participate

participate in its creation


Zeitgeist \TSYT-guyst; ZYT-guyst\, noun:
[Often capitalized] The spirit of the time; the general intellectual and moral state or temper characteristic of any period of time.
