||ARTIFICIAL STARS||

Okay.

So I'm stuck here at the office on Christmas morning.
I guess I should be thankful that I was even fortunate enough to have spent Noche Buena with the family. Noticed how I'm getting less and less presents every year.
Are people becoming less and less generous?
Are we all becoming more and more broke?
Or am I just growing old?

ARTIFICIAL STARS

Hues of
Stork wrappers
And ovum hatching
The kind of bullet
That kills werewolves
And what is said to be found
At the end of the rainbow

A Radiohead song
Flocks every home
And sweetened sow carcass
Is tchotchke on every table

Kids form gangs
And will turn bottle caps
Into champagne
After Schumacher
Wins the race

People don codenames
And will offer
Temporary strangers gifts
Parents will wear
Bull taunting suits,
Grow Dumbledore beards
And big black boots
Families are not
Call center agents
But all will be up at midnight

Electricity bills
Ingest
Growth hormones
Because of
Artificial stars
And minute versions
Of Edison's invention
Parading by the millions

The main mascot
Needs to take a crash diet
And in this country
Would have to pick locks
He is proof
That Gillette products
Are not available
At the North Pole

This poem was originally titled "THIS IS A CHRISTMAS POEM". It may not look like it, but it is. Go figure. Supposed to be included in the December issue of Bubbler but since the issue was scratched I'm offering it as a present for all of you instead. Never in a million years would I have thought of coming up with poetry for Christmas... but I did. This only goes to show how unpredictable things can get. Like highschool kids waking up only to find they have lost their virginity. Had fun writing it. Hope you guys have fun reading it.

If this would be my final entry for 2005
...we'll never know.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

||SWEET RHETORICS||

Dunno if y'all gonna get this but with 40 plus avail...
I'm bloggin'.

Ah. December.

The cold forces my bones to quiver.
Brrr. I sure could use a warm embrace right now.
And warmth coming from... you know what.

+++++

Christmas is like... what... 6 days away? I'm not that excited. Maybe it's because there's nothing to get excited about. And probably because I know I'm gonna be rushin' to get to the office right after Noche Buena. Ho hum. Well, at least I know I'ma be spending new year's wit' my loved ones. Now, that's coolness even December can't beat.

Let's end this entry on rhetorics and a sweet note, shall we?
Sure.
=)
