Psychology must
love the holiday pathos
for its rich fodder.

1550.

As if one day on
a calendar offered true
amnesia and hope.

1549.

Then a quick return
from delusions until the
quest for renewal.

1548.

A game set toward
bribery for accepted
behavior. Christmas.

1547.

And reality
gets suspended for bare days
disguised as mass cheer.

1546.

Always forgetting
to count the many missing
from its weighted roster.

1545.

How odd it is, the
atrocities called up
by the greater good.
