the hallmark charade

i wish there was a day
of clearance,
when you could get all the happy
this and that
out of the way.
mother's day.
father's day.
valentine's day.
the whole list of them
done in one fell swoop.
happy
everything.
all the fake holidays
we've bought into like
mindless lemmings
running off the cliff.
happy happy, we could say,
then slap our hands together
and be done
with the hallmark
charade.
