Surfer's poem: New Year

New year is a chance for a beginning
Even when there hasn't been an end.
Wheels turn in an interminable bend,
Yet marked in one spot, seem to wobble spinning.
Each year we hope to do little better
Although we know that really nothing's changed.
Reasons think that everything's arranged.
So we must dream if we would fate unfetter.
