Apparently,
Christmas now trumps Halloween.
Amazingly,
the fake trees and lights were on sale in September.
Really.
Truly.
Sadly.
Nostalgically,
it was bad enough when it leapfrogged Thanksgiving.
Statistically,
we’ll soon see department store Santa’s in early July.
Regrettably.
Ruefully.
Honestly.
Hopefully,
a new “occupy” movement will begin.
Actively,
we can sit-in at Sears and Lowe’s and Wal-Mart.
Aggressively.
Strongly.
Madly.

Sunday in the Parade with Friends
sunday, 6 November, 2011.
it's my usual o-dark-thirty time,
and it's chilly, maybe even cold.
not Wisconsin frigid, nor Seattle dank,
but cold for here, for this time of year.
how shall we dress today?
long pants? long sleeves?
gee whiz, my Pride Parade look is
shorts and a tee ("gay, fine by me")
PFLAG ball cap, no ear flaps.
none of this matters, of course.
my pals' daughter Suzi's in town
and grown men beam. grown women too.
has to be some warmth in that.
can't imagine a life without friends

Later, Steve
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow,
he said, as he left his body.
Been there, done that, long ago,
in this, my current body.
What have I done since to prepare,
or what should I - anybody?
