My first mistake of the new year,
a slipup back in time,
I write the new year wrong.
2-0-1-8 instead of 2-0-1-9.

Time has slipped ahead
but I have slipped behind.

Some habits are hard to shake.

I have 363 days to practice
chronological corrections,

and the same 363 days
to make non-chronologic
character adjustments.

I will have the correct date down by Friday.
Character improvements may take another week.

January 2, 2018 – 2019
