A gift card sent
with watercolor depictions of chrysanthemums
before a bleary Mexican shoreline
could make a young man
filled with fury.
If you can't follow those pieces of semantic impressionism
don't. Send out a Christmas card then
for gods sake
use slanted cursive
to convey absolutely nothing
in the loveliness of empty traditions
that bespoke confused idolatry
and idiocy
in the face of a few dusty locations
where a few families you knew of
got stuck at piece-meal jobs
while you remembered only
to thank your masters for being such pigs.
