Only two hours before Christmas day,
Perhaps if I got on a plane, I would see Santa...

Lucky ones

 the bank is your body, selling labor the means.

	for the very dinner on your plate.

like little pills set on end
and stairs that wend to the moon
so far from June, he thought
wrought now with frustration
on the ramp of the station
her - taking the express

the gouge
the dig
the deeper wound
the blood pouring
the blood shooting
out like a fire...

It's not about the big heaps of dough
