snowflake on the front

you see them shoveling
the Halloween
candy out the back door
into the dumpster to make
room for
the Christmas candy.
out goes the costumes
and pumpkins,
and in
come the plastic reindeer,
the glow in the dark
santa,
and nineteen various
fake trees
all with lights
and trimming.
a crane lifts in
the scotch tape and wrapping
paper,
boxes of generic cards,
religious cards,
funny cards,
and blank cards.
blank seems the way to go
these days.
maybe a snowflake on the front.
