Joy
The university had morticians come in to hang
the outdoor tree carcasses with bright little lights
trying to fool us with their magical makeovers
"Hey! They're not really dead!
We're vibrant! We're Cheery!
You should be too!"
It is not to say
that I am not in the Xmas spirit.
I spray-painted a plastic Xmas tree
and hung on it daggers
razor blades
and wee bunny heads.
