UPS, FEDEX, et al.
ubiquitous in this 12th month
manic motored,
four wheeled, dropping their loads
on stoops and porches
under watchful eye of door cams,
and eager Prime-aholics
who give little thought
to Bezos' bilious billions
an Amazon addict am I as well
cyber pampered, too indolent
to wander the aisles of Macy's, Walmart
wait...I see the brown behemoth
slowing by my drive; I must not tarry
in my armchair
up, up, a package will arrive
in milliseconds, surely grander
than gold, frankincense, and myrrh!
