holiday falsity

holiday falsity

comes just like the

gathering together

during a tragedy,

when everyone

“forgets” their

differences & bands

in order to defeat

the common

catastrophe of the

moment---

that which is making

its best attempt to

extinguish us all.

 

that warm comfort

whose warmth is

churned because of

“this time of year”

when americans

round up by the millions

to spend spend spend

the money that they

complain about not

having for the rest of

the year &

the manufactured smiles

dealt by those who feel

obligated to not be

“humbugs,” “scrooges,”

or simply the kind of

person who has the

bitter foresight to know

that around January

10^th, everyone will be

back to backstabbing

again.
