When I Become Santa
December 14, 2007
We move operations south
to Newark, Watts, Bronx
East LA and ten thousand
other empty places.
We begin to make toys for souls.
Peaceful and playful
thoughtful and joyous toys.
Now
unafraid and knowing –
we will walk this earth
giving gifts.
dear God

help us to understand
(not that we would change
anything)

what if
we stopped
building mansions
what if
we began
to build ourselves.
our home
in our hearts
freedom
our home
in each other
humanity
our home
in love compassion
reality
pick any year

You always believe
ends justify means…
colony collapse
restless legs
identity theft
tainted eggs
leaded Barbie
cancer genes
home invasion
tainted greens
diseased hearts
deadly sin
broken parts
tumbling in
tasered youth
speech bereft
monks for truth
what love is left?
popping pills
guns in school
glossy pages
skinny cool
homeless nola
no one cares
bullies at war
shiny wares
early risers
sound alarms,
can’t convince
of coming harms
If only otherwise…

We heard oral sex
ten thousand times
more
than terrorism.
We saw her face
ten thousand times
more
than the evildoer.
