collapsed Christmas
fabric corpses
await power
a plug away
from resurrection
decapitated snowmen
disillusion children
sneak cigarettes
in alley
homeless,
he sleeps upright
in a gilded chair
reluctantly allowed
never belonging
high rollers
babies in strollers
gambling grannies
unicorns and dragons
never mind the cost
boom, boom, whoosh
every 20 minutes
fountain fireworks
water the desert
Sin City
frantically seeking
glitz and glamor
money and power
————————————
not my world but
a world
none-the-less
needing
silent night
peace on earth
joy to the world
as much as I do
Feliz Navidad, Las Vegas
