Christmas tree lot
Sad orphans ripped from
the forest stretch out their limbs
pleading, ‘Take *me* home.”
Christmas lights
Like flickering tongues
of flame in green…blue…red. Just
plug in and enjoy.
Picking Christmas trees
Like speed dating, if
they make a good impression,
they come home with us.
NYC Christmas
Windows at Lord &
Taylor gleam with holiday
scenes. Small worlds of joy
Holiday shopping in NYC
Bryant Park transformed,
craft booths shine with baubles, lit
from within with smiles
Black Friday
Kmart opens at
4am. Outlet mall at
midnight. Who needs sleep?
Thanksgiving – after dinner
Post-tryptophan, we
watch Forrest Gump and digest
the day’s memories.
Thanksgiving – no time for diets
Don’t count calories.
Savor silken pumpkin, tart
cranberries. Taste joy.
Thanksgiving – division of labor
They’ll watch football. We’ll
cook. Men and women. Hunters
and gatherers still.
