Maybe it’d be better if it was always New Year’s Eve
When we all gathered in the backyard
MF DOOM is dead, we know that now and wish we didn’t
We play his songs before the girls arrive, lamenting how strange it was
hat there really was a man behind the mask after all
Maybe it’d be better if those fires were always blazing
Keeping us all warm outdoors in the winter
If only the smoke didn’t permeate my eyes and blind me
If only I had never gone home
Not too long after 2021 came
Maybe it’d be better if it was always 11:59 pm
No more growth, no more decay
We would all just lay in that hammock
Gazing at what stars remain in our tender night skies
Yet time moves forward, even if you don’t count down
