it's christmas day

and i am onto new year's plans

i'm not even in my christmas sweater yet

or at my uncle's house

feeling scratchy and sweaty and eating things wrapped in bacon

that will happen later

but i am on to new year's plans

and the way i'll feel once i execute them

i am thinking of the yoga classes i will take

that will stretch out my aching body

and make my eyes shine glossy bright

and the scarves i will knit

the kind that you don't wrap, but drape and loop and coil

maybe with a button, or a pocket

with soft soft wool, and many different colors

all on one scarf

the kind of scarf that will stop the trendy girls in the street

and make them dote on me

i am thinking about the horses

i am always thinking about the horses
