Keep The Christ In

You wake up
probably from a coma

The living room
(haha, "living")
is littered
with beautiful boxes

oh
the paper, all the paper
it cradles an image ("emblazoned")
of you at your worst
and you
oh
you just tear through it all

The dead and decorated tree
watches you open every box
It shudders, thinking of its roots
out there somewhere

"Where is my family?"
is a thought you don't  have

handfuls of priceless
and imaginary gems,
all for you,
all from some god,
you were so good
this year

as you admire your gifts,
Everything Your Heartless Chest Deserves
slithers down the chimney
with care
and sits in a circle around you

Happiest, Useless
Holidays
