Gift Horse(Second Hand Christmas Tree)

Christmas tree full of lights
What is the problem with your center?
darkness, darkness just like nights

starless, lightless tree center
unholy curses escape, unholy lips
murderous thoughts enter

branches remove and assemble tips
try and connect an electrical
circuit, help, help light the eclipse

unoriginal, typical, abnormal deal!!


Unoriginal Sin

Did you flavor it with Hemingway,
or season it with Thoreau

Did you structure it like Eliot,
or was Melville more your go

The rocks you choose to stand upon,
supports to look beyond

As you add your face onto the mountain,
new words inscribed in song

Past voices serve to push you,
to that place you’ve never been

Where your breath may cleanse forever,
the stain
—of unoriginal sin

James Cameron made it big with Avatar
Again and again he raised the bar
The film was tremendously beautiful
But the plot was unoriginal

But of course who could forget Titanic?
Lenny plus heartbreak equals a classic!
I've seen the ending, but that's not the point
My girl swears that it won't disappoint

Like or smite, have to admit you crave more
Jimmy's is where it's at whether you're
A fan of trees that store mem'ries aglow
Or Leonardo DiCaprio
