One word...
poetry in notion;
reminds you of
your deepest fears;
thus inferred,
deep as the ocean,
full of the dampness of
disappointed tears...
too absurd;
devoid of emotion;
magic once; now far off
in succeeding years...
that season dedicated to
Mercator; from Halloween
to the New Year Sales
(invitation-only preview,
Christmas Eve...)
worshipped in the faith
that your Babe needs gifts,
so wise up, don't be
a dog in the Manger...
Hallowgoodbuymas...
says it all really...
except of course
what goes without saying.
