All We Want for Christmas



Never mind the holly
Not for us the fuss
Harder to be jolly
For the least of us

Turns out we learn to see
In the dark somehow
The returning folly
Of things bought and sold

Seeing all the getting
From the outside in
Being the forgetting
Of what might have been

When the story is told
Of kings bringing myrrh
And frankincense and gold
If they ever were

As the epitome
Of the paradigm
But their epiphany
Was wiser that time

Our minds are not right but
Are our hearts wrong to
Regret through the night what
The right-minded do

Or not? But they forgot
So here we are now
Frozen in December
Mad and poor and old

At the feast remember
Those out in the cold
All we want for Christmas
Is that you see us

In the Southwest we always have Christmas cactus and mistletoe to keep us young and sane. The best presents in life are free.
