last-minute? not yet [christmas eve haiku]

Filed under: pre-06-2006 — David Giacalone @ 12:54 am

Oh, stop catastrophizing.  It’s only December 20th.  Real Men  

don’t think “last-minute shopping” or “last-minute preparations”

until about lunchtime on December 24th.

Christmas Eve–

the hum of power lines

just pass the mall

Christmas eve

the carousel animals

all motionless

      

 

 

 

 

 

 

          

 

Christmas eve

in the courtyard below

a flutter of wings

Christmas eve-
the row of cut trees
no one took home
