Freelance Friday

 

happy xmas eve

I am alone and lonely…

missing the company of J

who is far away in shanghai

            the days are short

and the weather is gloomy

 

Celebrated Early

and will wrap

            gifts hung over

and tired

 

Slumming

Hanging in the downtown eastside

and the painful frivolities

 

today my chest hurts

from the strong smoke

 

all addictions are numbing

 

Is there no place on earth for me 

is the title of a book by a female American journalist who witnesses the struggles of a schizophrenic and won a Pulitzer Prize in the early eighties

some children will still have the luxury of a Christmas

what’s under the tree?

 

We Were All Children Once

a loving son and brother

will wrap presents with care

beyond an ideology
