Happy New Year

May 2017 treat us right

I can hear my own laughter

And late night television

In my dreams.

If I focus,

I can also catch

The sound of lonely tears

Being drowned

Underneath a showerhead.

I wake up

And I am unsure

Of what I will hear today,

But I know that I am no longer alone.
