Introduction

I am writing a fiction which I haven't a clue what is happening and then was in a long lovely conversation with Misty Rae while creating the January 2023 Threads in Vocal+Assist and moving the December Threads to Guides so I have thirty minutes to write a poem for the end of the year.

The music has to be (once more) "Countdown (Things About To Turn Around)" by Lindsey Buckingham (and no, I would not consider "The Final Countdown" by Europe which is very silly poodle rock.

    I love the music video you feature here with Lindsey Buckingham! I admit, I had never heard his music before, but it was a real humdinger! The choreography of movements and background scenes made it captivating! Your poem is wonderful, too. Great job!
