((((Are you lying))))
((((sick on some))))
((((hospital bed-))))
     or in prison,
     an alcoholic,
     drug addict,
     isolated in
     some forgotten
     wilderness, on
     an oil rig, in
     a submarine---
     under the polar
     cap, even an
     astronaut en
     route wherever?
     So, for whatever
     reason be your
     solitude, I am
     taking this
     opportunity, this
     platform, to wish
     you and of course
     all at Hello Poetry,
     a moment to reflect.
     Good wishes, health,
     freedom, food, shelter, equality, acceptance))))))))))))
     dreams, aspirations, peace, an access to knowledge)))
     by way of uncensored writers who live in terror just to))))
     ensure that you don't need to believe in Santa Claus)))
     in order to have all of what is in this stocking)))))))))))
