A year-end party

Take me hand
Whoever you are
The wretched and wrecked
The trampled and the mocked
The beaten, the damned
The once mighty, the now fallen
Bring your smiles of knowing
And the glitter in the eyes
That can only come with life, harrowing
Decked in your tatters
Merry hats of crepe and straw
With callused hand and cracked heel
Let’s dance on the sidewalks
Jump over potholes
En route to the mighty sea
Where we will light a bonfire
And celebrate till the hours of wee
Light in the head from knowing
Whatever will be, will be
