Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Christmas Catalog 1957

Christmas catalog 1957
We fought over it,
It was our way to heaven

Dreaming of this, that and the other.
Arguing until we were separated 
by our mother

We circled the things we wanted,
we two,
The whole toy catalog was circled
when we were through

Christmas catalog 1957,
it was a step closer
to Christmas heaven…..
