Crazy holidays coming around. I’ve filled my home with cute little gnomes to remind me of the brighter things in life. Those gnomes, with their flowing beards and conical felt hats. I wonder if they feel the holiday magic.

Watching yesterday, as the stars roll out
Feeling up to nothing but down for anything
If I ask it twice would you hear me out
Would you take a chance or dip

No-one asked if light was long and thin, like the river
Slipping through the cracks and time would follow in its reverence
And I think that it’s funny how it does its thing
To figure out a better way, and manage on its own
