1. I printed a hundred photos of myself

handed them out at the train station
caption reading:
‘Missing Person
don’t find’

2. I dedicated 2018 to 1965

I was 18
The world was younger
so much more innocent
52 years later
what happened
How did the world age so
who dissolved promises of a better tomorrow
So happy
Proud even
Dedicating 2018 to 1965

3. When I divided experiences into years

I had no thought that a time would arrive when I would divide experiences
into decades
in the future
future selves
will divide cycles of being into centuries
with a year barely worth noting

4. 2018 is a blank slate

that in a future year
I will still be amazed
with how it was filled

01/01/2018 Adelaide

5. I hung a blank sheet of paper over my calendar

to show all that
I plan to accomplish
in this upcoming year
