New years is good a day as any
to plug into
what's shut off if you're ready
and if youre not,
it may not hurt just to say it
and if you cant do it now you have a whole year
to revisit
tragedy playing out in triplets
they say
what works for others
to you might static when what comes
what may
part of you you know is true
let it shout
and when my heads in the sand it's the grains
trying to get out

Set plates
small talk
Fire stoked
Everyone related to Grandma's joke
pulling apart another celery stalk
Warm air
cold hearth
she's a sophomore
no one ever asked for her to keep score
wearing the sweatshirt her older brother wore
(Chorus)
I fed my new first cousin twice removed
Aunt Dottie gave me a towel in case you
Read directions
my nerves and the pies cooled
She won't pray
or carry around
she's touche'
She says I'm not ready to go there with you today
I'm positively sure it never negatively affects my sway.
Skip beats
heart-shaped
seats dowel
Pardon me grey Stone
but may I buy a vowel
we started each other's sentences
while another one
finished Arrowel
(Chorus)

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring, (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights, even stoplights
Blinkin' bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big day
And above all this bustle you hear

All the pretty lights
twinkling today
tomorrow
may be out
but it won't delay Boxing Day
Emergency foster child on the 23rd he arrived
Domonic
Had come from and I came right on down a slide
he gift wrapped everything he owned and gave them to my brother and i
My coworker's house for dinner generosity and too much booze
Jenny
made excuses for me and we had ro leave very fast
we had festive fun till i tried to get
and or she thought of her past.
Watching at the lake house 'its a wonderful life'
with tears in our eyes
Jefferson
wanted to see his dad reckon with that force
instead, we saw washed out bridges and maybe hallucinated a white horse
giggling girl looking at me
squatting down on the floor
Carson
Looked around at all of in elf hats Edgar wore
she just wanted me around her I think she found gifts to be quite a bore

You're a gift

We moved from the Bronx
out to the country.
Dad's job was all wrong for him
so he left the company.
Mom's cancer too it was in remission
Doctor said have another baby
you all have my permission.
(Chorus)
It was a lean time for the family
But still the Christmas tree star shown on train cars and Miscellany.
And I found an unopened gift as I cleaned up the wrapping paper.
Half finished basement alone with
Tabletop Nativity savior
Some strange film
not quite 8 mmmm
Mom hated it when Dad filmed landscapes
without people.
(Chorus)
Mom's gay friend Bob
took us every year
To Holiday theater
fancy dinner after
(Chorus)
