toast

    my small family

    stretched from the snow to the palm

    states of the States of America and

    my childhood friend

    in the Sweden winter night

    will celebrate the holidays each

    with their own party  thoughts

    crossing the continent and

    the atlantic ocean  twelve



    centuries ago chinese

    t'ang dynasty poets fond of

    the meeting and the parting moments poured

    wine into their verses  around



    1990 rappers would

    greet each other in the middle

    of the pc and the work station

    screens  this year



    jesse rider has mentioned me

    and other rappers in his

    poems  before the year ends

    i'll raise my glass to him

    across the electronic river
