For Real Toads: the cusp of the years

In our writing community, the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, we have a time warp. For some of our members, it is already 2013, while here, as I write this, it isn't yet sunset on the last day of 2012. Some of us are asleep already, some of us partying, and some of us still wondering what to do this evening.

where in the world are you
anyway?
what in the world are you doing
anyhow?
is it today where you are?
or tomorrow?
or any day?
what year is this?
it cannot be
13 years into
the 21st century.
  
oh, no,
I remember
the midpoint 
of the 20th century.
I remember
Canadian confederation.
I remember
the first Sputnik,
and the Americans
putting a man on the moon.
  
where in the world am I
—anywhere?
