Every First of January it occurs,
Popping out of my mind like a hibernating bear
Ravenous for knowledge, productivity, promise
A desire to learn. An itch to open every tome
And gorge on all I missed out on the years prior,
A list not of resolutions but of references.
The cave wall smattered in names and subjects,
I wish to absorb it all into me;
on the wall, it will mostly remain, washed away by overwork
I will forget all of these things in 7 days time,
and another 358 days will pass
in a capitalistic hibernation.

Happy New Year Folks, my brain is so overly ambitious that I'm already experiencing burnout as per usual and wrote a poem about it.
