‘Tis this, Christmas morn at the end of that clutch of days Christians named 2010, and the diffident sky can only manage one irreverent blink.
There they're here, candy cane lights with green-garland ears and drunken noses to point my way through snow-drop-hushed streets robbed of their rush-about and vagrant shouts.
Then’s when I’ll take it, the harked-upon angels’ high stool, and make low the hollered occasion with a devilish wink to swivel their pin-cushion heads:
“Yay, I say, for unto you is born this day, in the city of laid lids, a savor! Look for true love in the cradle of your straw-strewn hearth, and unswaddle it.”
