I throw wishes.

Posted on by

As 2026 began, thousands of handwritten wishes expressing hopes for kindness, peace, health, love, and personal growth were released over Times Square as part of the annual New Year’s Eve celebration, mixed into more than 3,000 pounds of confetti dropped at midnight. Collected throughout December via the Times Square Wishing Wall-both in person and online-the messages reflected voices from around the world and symbolized a shared moment of optimism as revelers welcomed the new year beneath a literal shower of collective dreams.

it is art fair time once again

and we start out strong

babies v and r bouncing along

and hoping all our wishes come true

wandering through the streets

seeing all the colors

and people

and dogs with hats

and statues that move

and twirly

and painty

and beautiful

shiny things

and dancers

swaying and bending

and smelling

the spicy kabobs

and licking

the sugar

off

the elephant ears

and

hearing

 drums booming

and

touching

all kinds of everything.

and then

it is time for a break

on the diag

a quiet oasis

right in the middle of it all

with a bottle and a blanket and a weary smile

and with the hug of a tree

much bigger than me

and then

IMG_1387 you reach your limit

and you find

your very own

secret and happy place

and

your hopeful wish

is

to go home

once again.

–

timing has a lot to do with art.
