Poem: Collision
Christmas is a northern hemisphere holiday. There should be a law against celebrating it in summer. Fake frost on your windows in 30 degree heat: no excuses, BOOM.
Collision
Christmas is a collision
white knuckle deadlines
multiple party damage
the smoke of burning bridges
one final accounting
of the year's sins and omissions
told, carried, spindled, posted
racked with the cards and wine
white crosses
on the new year's grave
resolutions
to live forever
