bittersweet
I got my wish, a tricycle,
one Christmas long ago.
I opened up the box and that's
not what it looked like, though.
It looked like random pieces, like
a hardware store had spilt.
Instructions didn't help, I guess.
We never got it built.
This year my wish is peace, but...
...what if it already showed?
And came in parts,
and we're too dumb
to get it on the road?

Merry Christmas to one and all.
