360

merry merry merry

seasonal jollies

 

happy false consciousness!

 

life  upside down

and nailed to it

(the only way to go)

 

lion and lamb and I

lie down under the tree

a king thereof

this one day

 

slap the bub           

(best present)

a beer from tub

and start the weep

holy mild etc           

 

then where’s my sacred cow?

o shibboleth be mine    

 

I’m one untribed

and fly

flag of red and green

 

lights of the eve

know messiah when sent

and three wise

follow your star

 

in Christmas mitts the gifts

call Santa

stash hoard till cupboard tumble

 

let me unwrap it for you

Christmas is overdetermined

with mall and chocolate much

come grease the tin

and later lick

the bowl, the beaters

 

slotcar, dolly, recipes

sudden downpours, insects

bright

and Christmas bit me too

 

tug this

receive the paper crown

the cold joke

turkey burp

 

consider one more human and party

Christmas is forecast all day

woo-hoo we are so much!

 

everyone knows bub’s king

else crushed

all dance around the manger

 

to Christmas pissed!

and beaker rise

a champagne ache to wake

forget all the unlikelihood

take home love

 

worship ornament itself

its every calf needs gilding

 

who’s left holding though?

 

beyond the Christmas limits

where have the once-shone beetles gone?

 

where’s mother

but a womb-gone-down

was goddess once

much lusted

 

rest ye merry reindeer red

here comes a flagon dry

break out another

so flutter by

 

a lazy day

and run my bath

 

harp cliché

grinch it

dusted done

 

a father of this stuff and bless

glory all

in the kindness cup

 

peace to all

 

rejoice

is there a choice?

 

once Christmas would never come

now it never ends

 

o little be-fronded Christmas frog

tiny benighted

and pulse cicadas

do they even know?
