Holiday Falsity

holiday falsity comes just like the gathering together during a tragedy, when everyone “forgets” their differences & bands in order to defeat the common catastrophe of the moment--- that which is making its best attempt to extinguish us all. that warm comfort whose warmth is churned because of “this time of year” when americans round up by the millions to spend spend spend the money that they complain about not having for the rest of the year & the manufactured smiles dealt by those who feel obligated to not be “humbugs,” “scrooges,” or simply the kind of person who has the bitter foresight to know that around January 10th, everyone will be back to backstabbing again.
