the annual
Christmas card from the corner
gas station.
The Exxon Station
where i get my gas
and my cars
inspected.
it's a beautiful card,
long and wide
and when i open it up,
music plays.
Bing Crosby
singing White Christmas.
angels pop up,
and there's
Santa in a sleigh flying
across the star
lit sky.
it's a beautiful card,
so lovely
that I ignore
the grease on the envelope
and coupons
for an oil
change inside.
