On the Outside
December 18, 2010
You never look
at me.
I often look
at you.
You have
those things
I am told
bring happiness.
I have
those things
I am told
bring shame.
I look into
your restaurant –
you spend
my week’s wages
in a night
so elegant
so white
table cloths
and candles
fine wine
and waiters.
I could go on
and on,
but I have been ordered
to move along…

When I Become Santa
December 21, 2009
We move operations south,
to a thousand
desperate places.
We make toys
for souls.
Peaceful and playful
talenting toys.
Unafraid and knowing –
we walk this earth
giving gifts.

Living like royalty in a desperate world.
Dying for Christmas – version 2

The tree we cut
and carried
into our home
the one
we shackled
then
trimmed
sang to
then
toasted
now lies
in the gutter
her
hooks
and tinsel
riffling on the wind

When I Become Santa
December 4, 2008
We move operations south:
to Newark, Watts, Bronx
East LA and ten thousand
other desperate places.
We will make toys
for souls.
Peaceful and playful
thoughtful and titillating toys.
Unafraid and knowing –
we will walk this earth
giving gifts.
