And we sat in the mall
trash-talking Santa Claus
and his list
of naughty boys
and girls
because what did he ever bring us?
cars and boats and other toys
anything important?
never.
never
did I open a box of
happiness
or find my stocking stuffed with
normality
blessed normaility
so we decided no more Santa
and we set our hopes on the
Easter Bunny
he brought us Jesus and hard-boiled eggs
and upon discussion we decided
everyone could use a hard-boiled egg
