Second New Year’s Resolution (feel free to co-sign these)

Be it resolved that use of the phrases “primordial chaos” and “rain streaked window,” or any use of the word “soul” that does not involve references to Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Etta James, or Aretha Franklin, will be punishable by subjecting the poet to a term of no less than fifteen and no more than thirty consecutive recitations of the collected works of Matty Furmanek in pig Latin.
