A Christmas story

If I could shoot my
eye out with that thing, I’d just
sit and watch TV.

It’s a wonderful life

Only if you’re not
the one doing the shopping,
cleaning and baking.

Clean sweep

My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.

Alone time

I burn candles and
incense. Maintain silence. Find
myself in nothing.

Substitution

Sometimes, the hunger
that compels you to eat a
cookie is sadness.

Protection

Soldiers wear helmets.
Women wear makeup, styled hair.
Our mode of defense.

Fifth sense

Could I love you if
we did not touch, if I did
not mark you as mine?

Unbroken

The house of my heart
is white, clean, pure. No windows,
doors. No visitors.

Survivor – Family Holidays

Two tribes – In-laws and
Parents – force you to over-
eat, then watch TV.

Weight watchers

On weigh-in day I’d
inhale helium if it
would make me lighter.
