Something of New Year’s at Night

Matthew Guzman

We sit at a table, drawn close together
by a dozen or so drinks.

An illuminated ball drops
in downtown San Antonio

from a small television mounted in the corner.
I hold my breath as the whole

bar speaks in a single voice – Three, Two, One!
The band starts to play, Something in the way...she moves,

attracts me like no other lover.
I stare into her eyes,

she smiles.
I often dream of ceremonial balls dropping

in city centers across the country,
but instead of down, they all counted up –

the days, the hours in a day, the days in a year.
I begin whispering the words to the song,

some into her ear, some to myself.
