CONTRAST 1989

Jumbled Thoughts at Christmastime

People people jumping pushing shoving
knocking down

People searching looking never knowing what
they've found

In the malls the air is thick and full of noisy
sound

of people running pushing shoving yelling
falling down

Winter cold and wet andraw and chilling
to the bone

Wondering wondering wondering if you'll
ever make it home

All about you people crowding though you're
all alone

For fear another might discover what you're
bringing home

The season to be jolly and for merriment
and cheer

Time to buy the turkey and the food and wine
and beer

Hoping that you'll have enough when
everyone gets here

Quivering with anticipation as they all get
near
