the pre christmas blues

i see the first sign
of christmas
in the store.

a fake tree. a garland. lights,
ornaments.

cards, and much
more.

a baby Jesus in a manger,
with some
plastic goats around him.

old santa is in front of the grocery
store ringing
his bell.

his big iron pot
swinging in the eighty degree heat
as he sweats,

and scratches at his fake beard.

it's not even halloween yet,
but here we go.
