Starting to prepare the change of the code

(Only one number… An easy job?)

for entering step by step

a vast space and an unpredictable time.

Shall we do it in silence? Alone? Connected?

Do we need some extra light?

 

(Shall you go to watch the firework tonight?)

 

Will there be Space enough

to meet the Old Friends and

the Newcomers?

Do we need to book Time to share

a scratched table?

Remember to celebrate next year

Armistice, Independence or B-day

from palaces over squares to living rooms

singing Anthems of Love and Hope

and whispering

sweet nothings like

Happy New Year…
