how much for this tree here?

because
the trees are in the church
parking lot
at St. Bernadettes's i expect
a kinder
more reasonable price
on the six foot blue
fir.
but no,
the burly men
sipping amber
liquids from
silver flasks, will
have none of that.
they are as firm and
tight on price
as the rug
dealers in Ephesus,
not budging an inch
on this cold winter night.
