The last stanza seems familiar

with more babble to add. TK U MLJ LV NV

The first two lines are really interesting to me because of the double meaning of "lie". I like the contrast of a frantic scribble and idle thoughts too. The way you have broken up the stanzas gives this a run on, stream of consciousness quality that works well. Repetition of the word "about" reinforces that, and gives it almost a spoken word quality when read aloud (I am not expert, just my opinion). The last stanza ties it all back to the title, but in a really subtle way, evoking new year's eve and those pesky resolutions. Really like this.

to the temporal silliness of New Year's resolutions. Your writing is very compact and flows so well. I think you have a great feel for natural, conversational writing. I'd like to see a smattering of more imagery but that's me. All in all it's a really well-written poem, an effective poem imho, :-)
