12-25-15 Christmas In The City

Electric rainbow
Christmas lights
Blinking on and off
Silent Night on the radio

Early morning
Subway ride to nowhere
People barely smile
Waiting for a miracle

Sidewalk Santa
Collecting change
For the poor kids
Who have nothing

Smell of the trees
I used to gather
Broken branches
To make a wreath

Wrapping paper
For sale on the corner
Two for a buck
Stolen from a truck

Empty streets
Quiet buzz around town
The pigeons don't know
What day it is
