in the neighborhood, not
the meanest,
but part of a coven
of witches
that run
the condo board, walks
by with her dog.
she's wearing
Christmas yoga pants
with reindeers
and elves printed all
over them.
she has candy canes
for earrings.
a part of me wants to
yell at her for not
replacing the bush in
front of my house that
died during the summer,
but i resist the temptation.
i'm trying so hard to be
a better person with a new
year approaching.
but still i can't help but
smile when i see her
walking away, thinking
she really needs to lay off
the egg nogg and cookies.
