I borrowed my wife’s lipstick
wrote them in the corner of the mirror
that was last January
the words kind of smudged
my 2020 resolutions
forgot about them in February
I stare at them
they wouldn’t have worked anyway
with the kind of year we had
but still too ashamed
to put up new ones
this time I write them on paper
burn them at the Buddhist temple
let the Gods take care of them
