a new year, another year of spontaneity, of death and life, of **** ups and downs, of happy gatherings out in the night, or in the fire lit room, or on the curb, or in the rubble of a bombed city block. once you purge the truth it's hard to look away, in an age of information at the fingertips of humanity, it's insulting not to know anything, is that why everyone's so angry? greedy? hopefully the new year is a another year for mankind, and not just man. for humankind, and not just humans.
