so, this is the new year...

from a one-horse town in the black hills of south dakota, on new year's day...

so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one

i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back...

here's to distances dissolving
and a happy new year.
