New Year

Dead New Year

The People cheer as they count down the new year
Outside there is an old man sitting in the cold watching the snow flakes fall,
The people cheer 5
The man sits down and looks up,
4
The man smiles and scratches his beard,
3
The man looks down at the street to see the street lamp go out,
2
The man closes his eyes and smiles no more,
1
The man stops breathing
0
The ball has dropped, the old man is dead.
