twenty-one new years resolutions

I will plan to be better in the future tense

As of midnight all self-improvements recommence

I would step over buildings without breaking stride
Be yogafied daily till it engenders pride

Run in the rain, up hills and along the beaches 
Sing loudly just to see where to my voice reaches

Give up coffee again and leave my comfort zone

Stop spending half the day just staring at my phone

Disentangle the nervousness within my dog

And learn to live with my internal monologue

Give loads to charity without telling a soul

Stand up to butter: exercise self-control

Go rock climbing and swimming till my toes give out

Hit the brakes: do a U-turn on the road to gout

Read more and go out more and learn an instrument

See the ordinary can be magnificent

Learn to keep schtum while also having my say

Ease off and

take each day

as just 

another

day
