First of many firsts

Loose paper all but forgotten
Gathering dust, once-ripe intent gone rotten
Useful only to the rickety table as support
As it crushes the ink that bled to import
The first of many firsts on the white walls
Quit smoking...×
Get my act together..×
Be nice all year round...×
....x
......×
.........×
The list is endless albeit noble
smiling as the clock strikes at the witching hour
is the face of hard pressed knuckle
On the pen about to write once again
A first of many firsts.
