hours for you.

made up for it all
with mistletoe.

some people you meet are fancy
moon. some people you meet
are fine.

thank goodness
for jokes.
and filters and
smokes.

and everything
just the right size.

some people’s kids will rant
moon. some people’s kids’ll
rave. some people’s kids
are people’s kids.

(can’t predict how they’ll behave)
