GOOD NIGHT, 2022!
*With apologies to Magaret Wise Brown
In the year gone by,
There were no more Blackberries
And a lunar eclipse flower moon
And a picture of –
Artemis 1 jumping over the moon.
And Sesame Street has two empty chairs
And too many shootings
And fusion energy for things
And war in Ukraine
And the real life Santa’s grave
And Van Gogh and Monet hit with bowls full of mush
And Will Smith slapped Chris Rock to make him hush.
Goodnight Milltown Mel
Goodnight Gorbachev
Goodnight Mimi Reinhard who helped many live.
Goodnight Queen
And the Twitter we knew
Goodnight UFOs
Goodnight (for a while) Choco Tacos
Goodnight my dad
And goodnight Christine from Fleetwood Mac
Goodnight Roe v. Wade
And goodnight covid strains
Goodnight Richard Leakey
And goodnight Florida’s war with Disney
Goodnight massive black holes
And goodnight Ketanji Brown Jackson
Goodnight nobody
Goodnight “Victoria’s Secret” which Jax sung.
And goodnight to gaslighters who should just hush
Goodnight stars
Goodnight air
Good night noises everywhere
Here’s to a brighter, bouncier 2023!
