– “Hi!”

– “My name is 2009,
AKA New Year –

– “Look, if I had my choice
I wouldn’t show up
at midnight, December 31…”

– “We should let my older brother,
2010, stage a preventive coup…
everyone knows how awful
I’m going to be…
wars, unemployment, hunger, riots,
plus a few other surprises…”

– “I could turn out to be as famous
as my great, great, great, great,
grandfather, 1929, who gave us,
‘I Met Her at the Breadline.’ &
‘Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?'”

– “Oh, well, que será, será…
I’ll put on a diaper…
no one seems to give a Hoover Dam!”
