new_years_moment
sabbie and when rome was falling
do you think that the citizens were struck
with a sudden calm?

when you finally _know_ whats comming, there isnt any fight, anymore.

you clear away the dinner things
you put on your best hat
and you sit in the drawing room on the good couch

hands folded
ankles together
just waiting
for
it.

my new years moment was
_knowledge_ of this year.
and i smiled and thought
yeah, i knew.
i knew.

dear 'skites,
may this year surpass the last in all elements
and may the one after that
be better still.


love and much, much hope,

white_wave December 31, 1999. Couldn't stop playing that Prince CD. Couldn't stop wondering what would happen. Was it doomsday? What would the important computers of the world do? My eyes were blood_red. A blood vessel had popped in my eye that day. I felt ugly. I wore dark sunglasses with my evening dress. In my dreams, he would propose to me as the clock struck 12:00. I wanted to start the first moment of the next thousand years of history as his future wife. As the lack of glamour showed it's true face, the first moment of the new millenium felt so quiet. No explosions, blackouts or other hints of the hell I would occasionally fear. We shared our first kiss of Y2K, and I hiccuped while intoxicated on champagne and love. 040306
