NEW YEAR FELICITATIONS TO ALL AND SUNDRY

Who knows for certain?
Who shall here declare it?
  Whence it was born?
  Whence came creation?

The gods are later
than this world's formation.
  Who then can know
  the origins of the world?

None knows
whence creation arose.

  Or whether he has
  or has not made it,
  he who surveys it from the lofty skies.

Only he knows
or perhaps
he knows not.

               Newspeak's back in town.

"Waist for us Kim."

"We're learnin' by doin'."

"We're on your way down."

"We're flailin' just's flast as we clan."

Or' well

 someone did try
